At work, a few co-workers and I share a “song of the day” with each other. Currently, it’s an FTP server at a co-worker’s house with each day getting its own folder for us to upload our songs to. We then send an e-mail describing our pick and sometimes a short discussion will ensue.
I got to thinking that it would be nice if there was a pre-built package made specifically for this purpose of sharing songs between a small group of people. The features:
- Blog-style posting, each song getting one entry, allowing per-song comments. Uploading of the song would need to be integrated into the posting.
- Categorized by genre.
- Creates dynamic .m3u playlists for either a day, an author, or a random shuffle of all tracks
Of course, Movable Type or any other blogging platform could be pretty easily adapted for a couple of these requirements, but the other two (uploading the songs and the dynamically generated playlists) would be what would really make this stand out from a regular ol’ audio blog.
