MP3Outliner - share your playlists through your blog

Tom Morris is after firing the first salvo in his bid to kill MySpace. MP3Outliner allows you to find and share new music via your blog. Here's how it works.

Previously I hacked a similar idea with some Eleanor McEvoy tunes by creating a mini-podcast. But the great advantage of MP3Outliner is that no such step is necessary. The band themselves, or any fan, can build and host MP3 nodes for easy inclusion in any OPML outline.

So, under the "My Playlists" node in the Grazr panel, in the sidebar at left, you'll find not only the node for Eleanor MyEvoy, which I built in 5 minutes, but also the node for Joanna Newsom which Tom built and I just linked to from my outline - that's how easy it is to share playlists. But in case it isn't easy enough Tom advises that he...

"... will be releasing new tools to help you promote your music -
enabling people to add your music to their mix with a one-click
solution. This will be called the "MP3 Notebook" and is coming in the
next version..."

This is very cool and I hope some more Irish bands will come onboard. If anyone wants to point me to artists with MP3s on their sites I'll be glad to build their MP3 Outlines.
