Baidu Zhangmenren: Sharing Music Playlists
Based on its very popular mp3 search engine, Baidu officially launched a service name Zhangmenren (音乐掌门人) yesterday.
Zhangmenren, which started beta test quietly in December 2005, allows its users to set up and share their music playlists, which is called “album” in the service. For example, you can create an album named “Best Songs of Jay Chou“, write a short description for the album, and list out the name of songs in your album, and assign tags for it. Then Baidu will use its mp3 search engine to get the search links for each song in the album(as this). Users can rate and comment on any album.
Besides personal album, the service provides a collaborative open album function. Any users can add songs to a open album. But it seems that so far users can not set an album to be an open album for collaboration, since I can not find the function when creating an album.
