Here’s an interesting new web application.  If I have it correct, their software searches and indexes information on MP3 and video files posted on public web sites.  I’m guessing it must be getting at least some of its data from the MP3 tags on the files.  And from their site you can search for a person, song, etc. and the site will find matches for you from their database.  You can then organize and play this files from the player they provide. 

It works pretty well, and is a really nicely designed app.  And could be a really cool way to find information from a particular person.  For instance if you want to find references to tech-guy Dave Winer in recent podcasts you can search for him and get hits from a range of different podcasts.  But in a search for a recording artist, Barenaked Ladies, I got a list of files which reflect songs that I’m sure haven’t had their copyrights cleared.  They do have a copyright policy, and a method for a copyright holder to object to listed content.  So it will be interesting to see how this service progresses.
