As a regular user (and big fan) of thesixtyone, I was happy to see this article because now I finally know how to embed songs!

You can email a song link or embed the entire stream on another page. (Although, it is not easy to find these options. You have to click on the tiny “comments” link to open them up). For instance, I’ve embedded “Repetition Kills” by the Black Ghosts below. It would be better if you could embed entire playlists.

Edit: After successfully embedding a song I tried sharing it over twitter, and I have a request. It would be great if clicking Post Song to twitter would automatically convert the link to a tinyurl link.

Does this do any sort of relating how one user likes music to how another user likes music?

It seems to me that this would be a necessary element, unless you're willing to cater so thoroughly to one specific defined community that you don't care. (Is that the case?)

"It would be better if you could embed entire playlists."

I can't actually work out how to do playlists - do they support them?

hi guys. embed were sorta thrown together qnd a few months ago, so they're still fairly basic. we plan on redesigning them and adding embeddable playlists in the near future.

Are there regular playlists (i.e. on site not embedded) ?

i use thesixtyone when i'm coding, have a lot of trance and techno. feel free to listen to my radio: http://www.thesixtyone.com/jmtame i keeps it fresh!

I've gone through most of their library of classical. Found many good new artists. My favourite find is definitely Edgen: http://www.thesixtyone.com/#/edgen/

It's "epic" music. Reminds me of starcraft terran background music. This is one of my favourite songs: http://www.thesixtyone.com/edgen/song/Kings+and+Kingdoms+-+D...
