Back in Novmber 2007 I signed up for Tumblr. As with many new services I’d read some reviews of the site and signed up to see what all the fuss was about. Unfortunately it didn’t make sense for me. If I wanted to make a full blog post, then I could hear at www.bytesizemusic.net. If I wanted to microblog I could go use Twitter. Having stumbled across this post blog of Joe Lazarus. I’m glad to say however that I’ve now found a use for Tumblr. It’s My MP3 Tumbleblog!

A pinch of Last.fm, mixed with Yahoo Pipes and a dash of Seeqpod. All mixed in a Tumblr and served up with the Yahoo Music Player. The results are simple yet effective and show just what is achievable with today’s web services. So what’s happening exactly…

I’m scrobbling tracks to Last.fm and Yahoo Pipes finds MP3’s from the web matching the new songs you listen to via Seeqpod. Tumblr imports the songs via the resulting RSS feed and then anyone visiting my Tumblre can play the songs on your page using the Yahoo! Media Player.

Awesome. Go here for the recipe to make your very own MP3 Tumbleblog.
