About Playlist.com

Project Playlist, Inc, operator of the playlist.com website, is a Web 2.0 company much like slide.com and rockyou.com that provides widgets for myspace and facebook. It claims to be a search site for music files and does not store any music on their servers. It does pay royalty to music sites and all contents on their site is legal. It lets users of MySpace put more music on their profiles where otherwise they would be only allowed one.

It was founded in the early 2000s for the purpose of putting more music on mypsace and other social networking sites which only allowed one song. With the popularity of social networking sites and online blogs playlist.com has experienced enormous growth. From a userbase of less than 500,000 in the mid 2006, now the site boasts more than 20,000,000 users as of June 30, 2008. According to alexa.com, it the United States and Puerto Rico it is one the top 100 sites. It was originally known as projectplaylist.com because it acquired it's current domain name of playlist.com.

A key concern for this site was that many of it's linked went to pirated sites as it has received complaints from many major label companies such as BMG.
