MP3 Search

Lycos recently launched an MP3 hub with everything you need to get started: MP3 players, MP3 encoders, FAQs, links and a searchable library of songs.

MTV.com

MTV Online isn't afraid to take bold leaps - and take you right along with it. You will actually close your window and enter a private cosmos with its own animated navigation system. Everything in this world is alive and energetic. A remote-control command center breaks free while you roam the site. Live news of various lawsuits and addiction recoveries unfolds in your floating command window. And as your cursor skims over the menu's offerings, explanations burst open. MTV continues to document young America's musical obsessions. But now, tube offerings like "Beavis and Butt-head" take clever advantage of the Web's interactive opportunities. You can download audio and video samples and be the first on your block to get sick of the new releases. Each glorious and funky page of MTV.com is another exotic garden.

Sound Cellar

Music reviews with attitude and insight. Updated every week, the latest releases are brought to the fore with older reviews archived in an ever-growing A-Z (Don't worry, it's searchable). If critics' picks are important to you, there are listings of "Albums of the Year" dating back to 1990, not to mention a list of the Top 100 albums ever. (This list dates as far back as 1958 with Frank Sinatra's Songs for Swinging Lovers making the list one notch below Sgt. Pepper). It's cool to have reviews that are written regardless of the added feature of an online record store where you can actually buy the titles.

Southern Music

The site offers an impressive decade by decade exploration of the musical genre, accompanied by pictures and pertinent links. From 1899, when Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" was the first Ragtime composition to become a sheet music best-seller, to 1997's Squirrel Nut Zippers explosion, there's a little bit of everything here. You'll also find a collection of news articles, links to related books, and featured artists. Yup, they're not just whistlin' Dixie. Oh, wait. They are.
