Finally An Awesome Music Search: Songza

Clan of Xymox, Nena, Front 242, Sezen Aksu - no matter how obscure or ethnic the band or artist, Songza, a new music search (just covered by GigaOm) swiftly returns most of their songs. It then takes merely a click to play, share, rate or add any song to your playlist. What's even more intriguing is that all the songs seem to stream from Youtube. While I can't comment on the legality of the site, I can definitely say the user experience and response time are excellent. While the audio quality varies dramatically from song to song, you can really find pretty much any song or band (as far as I can tell). Songza demonstrates that even in an area as competitive as search, excellent/simple UI, fast response time and solid functionality makes for a great site.
