There’s lots of buzz about newcomer social music site iLike (a Garageband service) this week at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. We originally covered them in late October – download the iLike iTunes sidebar and see music related to what you listen to, along with recommendations of indie music that you might like, and tons of stats on the music you and your friends listen to on the site. You can also create playlists on the fly, and there are a lot of other features I’m still discovering.
Some people are calling iLike a second generation Last.fm, another company we’ve been tracking for some time.
Earlier this week iLike quietly added YouTube music videos to the site. Every song on iLike includes a link to play a short sample of the actual song. Now there is also a link to “play video.” Click the link and iLike searches for the video on YouTube, embeds it into the site and begins playing it. In our tests iLike found the correct music video about 2/3 of the time.
Like Gotuit, iLike is now also a great service for finding and viewing music videos.
By the way, if you’d like to download a YouTube video to you hard drive, use our handy YouTube Video Download Tool. More on this, and tips on converting it to iPod format, in a later post.
A great freeware Mac app that converts YouTube into mp4 and puts it straight into iTunes…

I wonder f iLike has made an arrangement with YouTube. Their usage of YouTube videos seems to violate the YouTube terms of service:
YouTube provides an “Embeddable Player” feature, which you may incorporate into your own personal, non-commercial websites for use in accessing the materials on the Website, provided that you include a prominent link back to the YouTube website on the pages containing the Embeddable Player.
IANAL but it would seem to me that iLike’s site is a commercial website (presumably they are making money – perhaps via iTunes/Amazon referrals) which would violate the non-commerial TOS (nevermind that they don’t have the prominent link back to YouTube). So perhaps they have a commercial arrangement with YouTube – or perhaps they are just hoping to fly under YouTube’s radar.
iLife is what Last.fm should have been
u-lik.com (you like not iLike)
is already providing a You Tube mashup for blogs with songs recommandations also streamed on the widget. You can check the widget on the following blogs : http://www.leafar.com, http://www.elrude.com or http://www.flyintiger.com
This will be a win-win situation for youtube and itune users as well..this is great…
iTube is a great tool for Windows users to download YouTube videos, convert them for iPod use, and add them into your iTunes library in one click.

Stupore! ho una sensibilità molto buona circa il vostro luogo!!!!
Interessare, molto interessante. Come avete fatto questo?
Ich fand gute und wichtige Informationen – dir zu danken.
Du musst ein Fachmann sein – wirklich guter Aufstellungsort, den du hast!
The video component of iLike is cool, but their social networking and music don’t work for me. Goombah, a similar service, connect you with the top 20 people and they are amazing matches. You can see their entire libraries and what they have added and adjust your recommendations based on your ‘adventure’ setting. New free tracks every Friday – alternative but other genres too.
pagine piuttosto informative, piacevoli =)

Anybody know how ilike goes about finding youtube videos for the songs? I’ve been trying to find a way to get it to find the correct one when it doesn’t but no luck so far. Understanding how it works in the first place might help. I’ve been using the facebook version and it’s about 50/50 at finding decent vids for the songs. For instance, I’m trying to find the official vid for Flight of Icarus by Iron Maiden. It’s all over the place on youtube but ilike only finds goofy stuff and I can’t figure out a way to get ilike to point at one of these good versions instead of the crap it’s finding.
