All SONY BMG music now on Playlist… and an update on how we work with social networking sites.
by JeremyR. on December 23, 2008
Share ThisPlaylisters,
As we continue to enhance our service we want to use this blog to sustain an ongoing conversation with all of you, solicit your feedback and address any questions you might have. To start today, we have good news to share, and an update on news that is not quite so good.
At Playlist, we are creating an entirely new music experience for our users, and as such, we have been talking with artists, publishers and labels in an effort to work with them and make their full music catalogs available on Playlist.
So, GOOD NEWS: we are excited to tell you about a new agreement with Sony BMG! We are going to make Sony BMG’s entire catalog -- including popular artists like Beyonce, Britney Spears, Bow Wow and iCarly (see the press release) -- available to be part of your playlists. We want to provide the best music quality and experience that we can. We expect to have more updates for you soon.
With the improvements to our site last week, our new search tool means that it’s even easier and faster to find more of the music you love and build playlists while you listen. We’re adding new social features to help you find friends more easily and build friendships on our site. And with our new player, you can drag and drop songs to change your playlist or just hit shuffle to mix it up. You can also access any of your playlists directly from the player itself.
On another front, you may have noticed that some social networks have begun blocking your playlists from loading on their site. We are working hard to get our widgets back up on user profiles across these social networking sites as quickly as possible so our users can continue to share music with their friends. Until then, your playlists are not lost and you can still share them – they remain available here on Playlist.com, where you can continue to search for music, create and play new playlists.
If you have any questions, comments or thoughts for us, please let us know here.

I am getting really sick of this crap! What is the point of having an account on playlist.com if I can't use it anywhere else??? I have got notified of another networking site I cannot use my playlist on. I was ok with the myspace thing at first but now that it's continuing to other sites, I am seriously considering canceling my playlist.com account!!

Dude, I'm Fine With My Playlists Not Working On Bebo And Other Sites.
But Because Of Licencing Restrictions I Can't Even Listen To My Playlist Here!
And There Has Been NO Support, NO Information And NO Announcement About What Happened And When Your Stopping It.
This Site Used To Be Open And Trustworthy.
Screw This, I'm Going To Spotify
Nice Knowing You.
