Many websites are available today that allow users to create a playlist for whatever mood or genre they prefer. However, PlaylistNow.fm adds a unique twist by giving users the chance to create a playlist that is associated with a task. The music is intended to help enhance the experience while completing the task, no mater how mundane. For example, a user could create a playlist they enjoy while working on their computer. Other users can check out their playlist and see if it does something for them while they complete the same task, or simply listen to it to discover new music. PlaylistNow makes listening to music a social event.

The creators of PlaylistNow wanted to give music lovers another way to enjoy their favorite pastime. The social networking nature of the site makes it possible to share the music experience with others. The site currently serves the same purpose, giving users a number of fun tools to share what they are doing and what they are listening to while they do it.

The approach PlaylistNow takes to creating playlists is a little different than most similar websites. Rather than focusing on mood, genre, or artist, the user is encouraged to create a playlist to go along with a task. The task could be unique or an everyday chore. Regardless of what it is, the playlist is intended to enhance the user’s experience while they do it.

The PlaylistNow website has a very fun, inviting feel. The dark purple banner and sleek logo fit well with the oversized status entry field. The homepage provides all the basic navigation tools a new user needs to start using PlaylistNow. Users can check out the playlists of others or create their own to share using the simple tools included on the site.

Users are given three sign in options for PlaylistNow. To begin the registration process, the user can click the blue “Join now” button at the center of the homepage. The user is taken to the sign in page which asks them to choose one of three third party accounts. These include Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Unfortunately, at this time, a traditional sign up option is not offered. The user must link one of their existing third party accounts to begin enjoying PlaylistNow features.

Everyone can join PlaylistNow and pay nothing for the privilege. All features are accessible as soon as the user completes account creation. There is no premium paid account offered at this time, with no word on whether or not that will be changing. The site appears relatively new, with no FAQ page entered yet, only a note that says it will be “coming soon.” At this point, it does not look like PlaylistNow has plans to charge users for access to their accounts or features, at least for the time being.

PlaylistNow is definitely a site dedicated to the music lover. The focus on creating playlists while doing tasks may also encourage users with busy schedules to visit the site more often. They can play their favorite songs while working or completing other tasks throughout the day. Overall, PlaylistNow is ideal for almost anyone; even the casual user can quickly adapt to the site layout and begin enjoying music.
