This has been one of my biggest missions. I have search low and high for someway to listen to music on my iGoogle page. Well now I found an acceptable gadget in IMEEM Music Player.
I will be honest I had never heard of Imeem. I guess I was one of a small group who hadn’t. For all of you, who like me, haven’t heard of Imeem:
“Imeem is a social media service where users interact with each other by watching, posting, and sharing content of all digital media types, including blogs, photos, audio, and video.” Go Wikipedia!!!
What is key about their service is that they have worked out deals with all the major record labels to offer their content legally. So basically it is the holy grail of free music- Perfect for my iGoogle page.
OK NOW BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING I know that the player does not fit inside the gadget. Yes this is a huge issue. You can only change to the next few songs on the list unless you get lucky and it scrolls down. You can just click the fast forward button and go on to the next song though. I still recommend this gadget for one reason- it is the best free music service I could find. The ability to type in any artist you want and get a play list of their songs is invaluable. So I will be dealing with this issue until someone can make it perfect.

This site is a pain in the ass and not worth all the information that they want from you. After about five minutes, I became fed up with it.

Well regardless of the actual site being tough to sign up for the gadget can still hold its own. But thanks for the advice I will stick to my “normal” ways of acquiring music for my mp3 player.

Simple to setup. Installed the gadget entered search criteria and it worked. No account required. As for the size issue - here’s a “work-around”
1. Right Click on the player itself and “Zoom-In” it will makem the player even larger.
2. Right Click on the player again and now you will be able to “Zoom-Out” until the whole player fits in the window.

Thanks for the tip Tony. I will make sure to try that on any other gadgets that have a size issue.

and by the way, what setup? i didnt have to do anything, as soon as I clicked add I was listening to music.

one thing to fix though: when you maximize and minimize it shouldnt stop the song and erase your search. That kind of sucks.
