Muzicons - Amazing Mp3 Music Widget
  • Hey everyone,

    I'm new to this community so I wanted to say hello. I also wanted to tell you about Muzicons, a great music widget for your blog, MySpace, and LiveJournal. It combines a compact mp3 player with a unique emoticon. You can customize text and color, so you can style it to fit your site's theme. You can try it out at Muzicons.com.

    You can also read more at our Squidoo page. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
  • hey muzicons,



    real question here.



    when you guys sit around discussing how this widget works, how you're gonna get it out there, build a business, etc....  at what point do you guys start thinking about licensing music and stuff so that you don't suffer a Muxtape-esque fate?

  • I'm pretty sure new music widgets get developed along the lines of

    ...umm...people like to listen to music....errrr....people read blogs.....make widget.....ooooohhhh glossy.....done....no wait...I make no money and don't pay licenses,maybe Google will buy me?
  • doesn't work ...
  • Hey Adam,

    Muzicons is based in Russia, so it isn't as vulnerable to some of the copyright claims as US based companies. Because the widget is essentially a player, it also isn't as vulnerable as a p2p network, for instance.

    Muzicons isn't just a plain music widget, it is designed to fill several functions. Bloggers list their mood and an emoticon. Now, they can combine that into a stylish player.

    Those who plainly link mp3s on their sites can use the text to list the song title and the customization options to fit their theme.

    Brandon - does "doesn't work" mean you had trouble generating a Muzicon or are you talking about music widgets in general? If the former, I'd be happy to help you out.

    Let me know if you guys have any more questions, I'm happy to answer them.
  • All praise mother russia !!

  • I tried uploading A-Punk at home and at work with a pirate icon and it just never came out of the "uploading" phase ..

    okay, so let me ask you this.  how do you guys make this into a business? (other than making sure your shit works) how do you make money?

  • 私の麺おいしいです



    내 국수 맛있



    मेरे सिर स्वादिष्ट है

  • I don't know what they say, but they are all squiggly happy.
  • Hey guys, thank you for bringing that error to my attention. Development switched servers recently, so it seems like it was giving some users problems. All should be fixed now, though, so thanks again and enjoy!

    squashed - if you announce it or review Muzicons on your blogs, let me know where - I'd love to come read =D
  • да ну и дурь же хорошие Русские люди строят. А чё-нибудь по интереснее не смогли?

    И потом пишут ещё SEO–статьи чтобы вставить свою ерунду в нормальные Google поиски. Обидно, ребята. Зачем так жизнь терять, всё–таки одна.

    squashed - do you see the paradigm shift towards music-powered emotion widgets yet?
  • emotion widget? ... what? I am thinking vibrator of some sort here...



    incidentally, Android seems to have reasonably good acceptance. If the chinese likes it. (which means lower production cost due to larger market.) than this gadget will change how people use phone. 



    should think about strategy to permanently invade people's cell phone... (hypem/elbow feed on android)



    PS. can we have universal account please? keeping track of so many music service account, hypem, elbow, etc are such a drag.... without simple account management, you'll never take over the planet. It turns people off. and each service will be tiny, tiny niche service...
  • Yeah, j/k there :)

    Facebook / Google are the universal accounts, but they cant seem to figure out how to share this responsibility intelligently yet.

Howdy, Stranger!
