Flex Spotlight: Streamzy.com
I came across this site the other day and instantly recognized the interface. I also recognized the fact that it had a lot of thought put into the way it was designed. It’s a small, minimalist interface under which you can achieve a lot.
The idea of Streamzy is that you enter search criteria into the box, it returns streaming music in audio OR video form, and you can add and manage playlists (and save these if you choose to register and sign in). And by “return” it’s not simply providing links, it will play the audio and video streams in their respective custom players.
Kudos to the makers of Streamzy, it’s a very easy to use and useful (albeit probably temporary, see: copyrights) tool to search music while hardly lifting a finger.
Footnote: I was impressed by what I thought might have been a custom Accordion control holding the content grids on the page, but it was in fact a WindowShade control courtesy of the flexlib library.
