Music Search and Mixtapes Come to SearchMe

October 20th, 2008

Visual search engine SearchMe just added music search to its repertoire of search options. That, by itself, wouldn't be very interesting, but thanks to integrating this new search feature with Imeem's ability to play back an unlimited number of full songs and SearchMe's 'Stacks' functionality, you can now use SearchMe to easily create custom mixtapes.

SearchMe, which combines a search engine with a highly visual, CoverFlow-like interface, has seen rapid growth over the last few months and this new feature will surely help the company to attract even more users.

One of the best features of SearchMe's new music search is that it automatically plays the next item after a song is finished. Thanks to SearchMe's 'stacks,' which are basically SearchMe's more visual take on bookmarks, you can now use SearchMe to build your own mixtapes and integrate them into your blog or social network page.

Neither Imeem nor SearchMe have made any announcements about a partnership, but it seems likely that SearchMe is just using Imeem's API to power this new feature.

The only negative aspect of this new feature we have found so far is that there doesn't seem to be a way to stop the embedded music stacks from automatically playing as a page is loaded. Because of this, we decided not to embed a custom mixtape in this post, but you can find one here if you want to see (and hear) what this new feature looks like.
