JiwaMusic Facebook Application

What is the JiwaMusic Facebook application?

JiwaMusic is a database of songs that you can search and add to your profile to share with other. They claim to have over 300,000 songs in their database and so far I’ve had no trouble finding any of my favourites. Many different genres are included as well and a user can find anything from Mozart to Moby. The search is a little rusty, however, as results can only be organized by artist and must be browsed one page at a time, rather then allowing the user to jump to any page they wish. This made finding songs by the band ‘X’ quite difficult. The major problem with this app is the amount of space it takes on your profile. Every song you add appears and takes up about a centimeter and a half (quarter inch) of profile space, and there is no option to limit the number of songs that appear in your profile. JiwaMusic is still in beta.
