New comer Jango is joining a bevy of other social music discovery and recommendation sites. The sheer saturation of that market, however has not deterred the Jango team from creating a straight forward, and simple site that will draw in music lovers like flies.
Once you’re a registered member, you’ll get to configure your own stations. Start by typing in the name of an artist/band that you like, from there, Jango will give you a list of similar artists which you can add to your station by checking off the boxes. Songs will be automatically compiled from your initial setup. Voting with smiles and frowns indicates whether a particular song will stay on your list or get booted off. Jango will also give you a quick run down of the artist, with cover art, place of residence, names, etc, and you can purchase tracks via Amazon. Additionally, from the social network angle, you’ll get to see which other members like the same artist and you can read their comments. Jango members, of course, get profiles, they can send shout outs and private messages, and they can listen to each other’s stations. While listening to stations you’ll be able to see who else is tuning in and Jango will in turn recommend more music for you to listen to. The service is free too.
Jango.com In Their Own Words
“Jango is all about making online music social, fun and simple.
Just type in what you want to hear – and we’ll play your chosen music and other favorites of Jango users who share your taste. You can customize your stations further by adding more artists and rating songs.
As you listen, your player will show other people listening to the same artist. You can “tune in” to the songs they’re listening to, chat or share your music with friends.”

Jango is pretty easy to use. Unlike other sites, they actually have a nice selection of music, and they’ll do the suggesting for you so adding new artists is really simple—just a matter of checking off boxes. They’ve got a nice layout and plenty of useful social networking features.
Some Questions About Jango.com
Jango really doesn’t stand out from the rest. IT hasn’t got one stellar feature, but rather a mix of features which it shares with other music networks. Will they incorporate a stand alone player a la Last.fm and others? What about widgets?
