Fairtilizer is a new music community that launched today.
The purpose behind fairtilizer is mostly for search and discovery, and not so much about the promotion of new artists. There are several ways to filter through songs, as you can search by artist, album, keyword, geographical location, username and genre, among other things. You can preview songs from your main search results page, as well as from the song’s profile page. Add songs to your favorites by voting for them, or add them to your playlists. These sections of your profile are available for other users to see as well.
Like YouTube, the fairtilizer rules say to follow copyright laws, but there is plenty of copyrighted music that’s been uploaded by users. The downside to this is that it makes it more difficult to search for music by artist name, as it would depend on the user to include the artist’s name within the tag words.
Similar to Finetune or MyStrands, there is a way to listen to your playlist independently of your fairtilizer browser window, and you can also embed the FairPlayer widget into another site, such as your MySpace, hi5 or Piczo profiles.. This could prove rather cumbersome. A few more additions to the site that would prove helpful for search and discovery would be the ability to save other users’ entire playlists, links to places where songs can be purchased and downloaded, and offering more information about artists.
