A music site should attract not just the primary users who knows what their goals are (what they want to listen to and buy), but also the general audience who are not always familiar with the new artist or the playlist. Scanning the list by names, their images or listening to sample of their songs helps to make a decision.
I would propose displaying search as a primary functionality and a 'Browse by Artist or catagory' link below the search to cater to the needs of wide range of audiences.
