When I started MP3.com I took a radical approach — I let every artist signup without judging quality. But the good music was buried under amateur slop, so I came up with a solution: track user listening habits and use that data to rank songs. Overnight the site became charts, and charts made MP3.com an interesting place to discover music.
Today I'm announcing DAR.fm 1.0 — a cloud based recording service for radio. Version 1.0 has 16,000 shows from more than 5,000 radio stations, all neatly categorized and ranked by popularity.
DAR.fm is not just a useful recording service but a radio discovery site where it's enlightening to browse the categories. Regional charts display what shows and stations are popular in any given state or city. Recording and listening is just a click away!
