    Deezer's music by permalink

    I’ve written before about Deezer.com, the French ‘so good it can’t be legal’ jukebox website. Search for a song, click on the play button and er, that’s it. The music is encoded and uploaded by users, and streamed via Flash by the site… so you can’t download (er, exactly). Sound quality can be variable, but the reality is astonishing.

    The v2 site has another great addition: web-based permalinks. So if you ever wanted to point someone to a specific recording of a specific song, now you can. Click the link, the song plays, the advertisers pay. By way of example: here’s Page & Plant’s live, unplugged version of Kashmir, which compares more than favourably with the Led Zep original… and comes with an extra 50% free.
