An audiophile, from Latin audio "I hear" and Greek philos "loving," is a person, who typically listens to music on high-end audio electronics.
Audiophiles try to listen to music at a quality level that is as close to the original performance as possible using high-fidelity components. DIY audio enthusiasts build their own equipment, especially loudspeakers.
7 Great Internet Resources for Audiophiles include:
1. Blip.fm
If Twitter asks the question, “What are you doing?” Blip.fm asks “What are you listening to?” Blip is a community of music lovers where you can manage your own station and share music on Twitter and Facebook. You can add your favorite “stations” and re-blip the music they play. Through its easy-to-use interface, you can also award others whose music you like by giving them props.
2. Last.fm
Last.fm is similar to Blip.fm but the interface is very different and is usually the place people go to when they can’t find songs they want on blip.fm. On Last.fm, users can search for music by genre. The more Last.fm learns what you like, the better it gets (kind of like Pandora). You’ll get new music recommendations, videos, free MP3s and concert listings — all based on what you listen to, resulting in a non-stop, personalized radio experience. Also, Last.fm can sync with iTunes to autoMAGICally fill your music library with what you’ve been listening to on your computer or iPod.
3. PandoraOf course, this list wouldn’t be complete without Pandora. Probably one of the most well-known Internet music resources, Pandora uses its Music Genome Project database and software to learn what kind of music you like and deliver it to you based on “stations” that you create. Available as an iPhone app, Pandora is extremely portable and flexible.
4. Jam Legend
Jam Legend is gaming and music in one. If you’re a fan of guitar hero, you’ll love Jam Legend. It’s got the same format as the console version, minus the guitar. You pick your song and an opponent, then battle it out in a showdown. Very fun and very addicting.
5. Filter Music
Filter Music has a list of Internet Radio stations that stream high quality music. With Filter, you’ve got the option of saving your playlist on VLC or personal Media Player to take with you wherever you go.
6. Live365
Live365 has a database of over 6,000 radio stations run by real people. There are a lot more genre, artist and song choices than a lot of other services. Pretty much anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can create his or her own Internet radio station.
7.Gollyday
Gollyday is a music community built around a notification service that allows you to follow artists and venues and receive instant alerts when tours and concerts are announced, and more importantly, when they are coming to your town. Gollyday was created for concert-going music-lovers! Even if you don’t like going to concerts, you’ll be able to discover new music and connect with your friends in new and exciting ways. Put simply, if you breathe and like music, GD is for you! Gollyday is currently accepting sign ups for private beta.
