Listien - a new generation music service

Who among us has not dreamed of having a full-fledged, not requiring mandatory registration, access to musical information? Information focused on a single resource, streamlined and easy to use and search, requiring no additional verification. Listien will allow you to collect lyrics posted on different sites, biographies, discography and musical compositions themselves. Accordingly, the lyrics, and biographies-discography, and the musical compositions themselves will not be scattered across a variety of resources.



The process of collecting music data requires the use of a variety of online resources and software for downloading (if music is drawn from torrents and other p2p ). In the case of downloading music from the web, as a rule, registration is required, creating a mass of accounts to search for and obtain the necessary music. After downloading, the user will have to wait for the annoying and monotonous period of verification of the received albums. Often there is a desire to learn more about the listened artist, read the lyrics or the history of the creation of certain songs. But for this you also have to visit a lot of resources offering similar information.

We decided to make a call about the music routine and collect all the musical data in one place. The Listien project (List-Listen-Enjoy) is a classic mashup application (website content is generated using automation processes) and is designed for people who are guided by the principle of efficiency: the minimum time and effort spent is the highest quality result. Listening to music should be fun!

Listien is a centralized music system that helps people search and sort music information. The database is sorted by artist, album, song and lyrics. Therefore, the search can be performed on one of these fields. In order to listen to a particular artist mentioned on the thematic forum, simply enter the name of the artist or song in the search bar on the site, press enter and search results in front of you. Fans of using the browser's search box ( Firefox and IE7 are supported) just search Listien for a database using our search plugin using OpenSearch technology. All albums are sorted by genre and release date, which allows the most inquisitive users to track new items both on the site and in their favorite RSS-aggregator by adding a feed of the latest albums .

To listen to the tracks, a full-fledged player is used in which the main desktop functions are implemented: playback controls of the current track, volume, playlist, various playback modes (all tracks of the playlist in order, track repeat, shuffle ). All controls can be performed using hotkeys.

In the future, we plan to implement the ability to import playlists in the XSPF format (the native format for storing playlists on Listien), introduce some social functions - the ability to add comments and compile ratings. For convenience, in addition to the traditional authorization, OpenId authorization will be introduced. For integration with third-party services, XFN and FOAF are planned.

In any case, try the service, evaluate usability, and if you have any comments, comments, or any specific preferences, we will take note of them all. All information is generated based on automatic music collection. If you didn’t find what you were looking for using Listien, please let us know - we’ll examine the application and add the artist’s tracks with all the related information to the database.

Everything is simple, convenient, affordable and logical orderly. So check out the latest releases, create playlists or download music at home, in the office, at the resort, in a hotel room or in the park - with the Listien player your favorite music will always be with you. To keep abreast of the latest releases, to always have on hand a full-fledged library of music and expand the level of musical knowledge - this is what it means to use Listien .
