Go Wave!

Dr.Music is the second robot Go-Wave is writing about after Lasty. Dr.Music can fetch what a last.fm user currently listening to, which is similar lasty. But Dr.Music has an added feature, it can check compatibility between two users. Dr.Music fetches compatibility score & common artists which makes it look more colorful.

Two commands which can be used with Dr.Music are:

1. @dr-track-USERID for last track
2. @dr-comp-ID1-ID2 for music compatibility

As the name itself says, Lasty is a last.fm bot which fetches what an user is currently listening to. Just add the bot & type LastFmUserName-is-listening anywhere inside the wave. For ex: typing “hnprashanth-is-listening” will fetch what I’m listening to right now & adds it to the wave as in the above screenshot.

Soundcloud player gadget for Google wave lets you play music from soundcloud.com. Get the link of a track from Soundcloud, put it in the URL text box & click “Set url”. That’s it, Soundcloud player starts playing the track which you have selected. User can also enter a user profile URL or a group URL also & in this case all the tracks on that page gets converted into a playlist. One really good feature which should have been there in this gadget is Co-Creating a playlist with individual track links. Which can let all users in a wave to add tracks & create a playlist. Hoping to see that feature in next update.
