I feel like a lot of Internet radio/music players have been popping up lately.  There’s Jango, Deezer, Mixaloo, Songza, and now BoomShuffle.  As of right now BoomShuffle is pulling ahead of Jango, which was my favorite until about 4 hours ago.  BoomShuffle is like Internet radio that you have total control over, almost.  The biggest difference between BoomShuffle and something like Pandora, is that BoomShuffle allows you to create music mixes filled only with songs you choose.  They have a very extensive music library and you can create as many mixes as you want.  You do need to fill your mixes with at least 15 different tracks from at least 15 different artists otherwise you’ll only get a 30 second preview of your songs.  Oh no, they’re forcing me to create a huge playlist of music that I can listen to all day long.  Who cares?  I had no problem creating my mixes.  In fact, my first mix has over 40 songs in it and it only took me about 10 minutes to create it.  The catch is, however, that you don’t get to choose the order in which your songs will play.  You also can only skip over a few songs an hour – which is how they’re keeping themselves in the Internet radio category.  You can listen to other BoomShuffle members mixes and embed them on your website or blog.  They also have a pop-out player so you can navigate away from BoomShuffle without loosing your tunes.  Here’s my screencast tour of BoomShuffle:
