I wrote a simple PHP script that queries the Internet radio site Jango and allows you to play any song they have in their database. Jango is already far superior to other Internet radio sites when it comes to finding a particular song. In contrast, Last.fm and Pandora are more like traditional radio stations: you can pick the band or genre you want to hear, but you have to wait around if you want to hear any particular song. At Jango half of songs are available to be streamed (check out The Arcade Fire’s page to see). But if you notice, a song like “No Cars Go” is listed as not available. And so this script makes a link that accesses the entire library.
It’s really easy to understand the pattern, here is “No Cars Go”:

Try out the search tool and let me know how it works. I’ve made the code available on this site, so feel free to build upon it and make it better. Also, here is a stand alone Jango Search example.

Awesome! This work brilliantly. Nice job on creating this. If only Jango had this feature inbuilt on their site, it would be perfect. But at least if I’m thinking of a song I want to hear I know how to load it
I want to play Young Lust by Pink Floyd and for some reason it just goes to Empty Spaces/Young Lust instead of just Young Lust
is there a way to play specifically Young Lust?
