I just checked the link, the design is very simplistic, and in my point of view, it is very effective.
It fails on delivering good search results though, it picks up popular songs and artists, but for non-so-popular songs, it returns results that are not quite close. (i.e. Spanish songs). A lot of emphasis was put on the UI, but not too much emphasis on the search algorithm. Hmm... compromises, compromises... -Juan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Malouf Sent: Wednesday, 14 November 2007 12:29 PM To: IxDA Discuss Subject: [IxDA Discuss] Songza Aza Raskin (invited speaker to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah), just posted a new application which show cases many of the interface theories that he and his company, Humanized, have been talking about and he will talk about at the conference (http://interaction08.ixda.org/). The new application is called "Songza" and is search, play, and share for music. It seems to search for content in the public domain like on YouTube and grab the audio stream from it. The interface is all custom made and seems top notch in its rigor towards simplicity and some core ideas that the folks at Humanized have been exploring.
