imeem – Music is Social

You may have been wondering about this mysterious icon that now appears on music playlists, song pages, and search results. Well, wonder no more. In addition to creating playlists, you can now create something we like to call QuickMix. What exactly is a QuickMix? Think of it as a temporary  music playlist that you can listen to and add songs to “on-the-fly” while browsing around imeem.

When you first click on the icon, it’ll open up your QuickMix in a brand new window. From that point forward, you can keep browsing around imeem and adding songs to this QuickMix. All the playlist features that you are already familiar with are there (enabling/disabling a track, shuffle mode, etc.), and you can remove songs from your QuickMix that you don’t like.

But let’s say you create this amazingly perfect QuickMix and you want to save it. No problem. Just click on the “Save” button and you will be able to save the playlist to your profile page. Piece of cake.

Creating a QuickMix is an easy way to just sit back and enjoy some tunes without much hassle. What’s great is that it can serve a variety of other purposes as well. Here are some scenarios I was able to come up with. If you think of any of your own, let me know.

The “Channel Surfing” method - You do a search, quickly add a ton of songs to your QuickMix, cycle through them just as quickly, and figure out which ones you like and dislike.
The “Big Night” method – You’ve got a big dinner date at your place and your date is about to arrive. Just fire up a few slow jams into your QuickMix, and you’re all ready for the evening. If things turn out well, save the QuickMix for future use.
The “High Fidelity” method – You’re checking out your friend’s cool playlist but realize that a few songs on the list prevent it from reaching a level of greatness. So you add the good songs to a QuickMix, fill in the gaps with the songs you think should be in there, and now you can compare with your friend whose list is superior.

So go ahead, check it out, and create a QuickMix. And of course, let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.
