FoxyTunes Planet by Rick Broida from LifeHacker.Com

Love music? FoxyTunes Planet serves up bios, photos, videos and more for your favorite artists.

Just search for an artist (or browse by genres) and FoxyTunes Planet delivers a page of widgets: downloads from iTunes, lyrics from LyricWiki, photos from Flickr, videos from YouTube, streaming tracks from Last.fm and Pandora, search results from Google and so on. You can customize the page by adding or removing widgets and dragging them around. Indeed, it's not unlike the Google Personalized Homepage, but with a music slant. The site remembers your layout and widget selections from one session to the next.

One of the big perks is sharing: You can e-mail any artist page to friends, and they can view it in their browser same as you. There's no special software required (like when you share from, say, iTunes or Rhapsody). FoxyTunes Planet also integrates beautifully with the beloved Firefox plug-in FoxyTunes: Just click a button to see the FoxyTunes Planet page for the artist that's currently playing. If you have even the slightest interest in music, you'll definitely want to visit this Planet. — Rick Broida
