If you are into the social music scene, bookmark ContraStream, a new music discovery engine, and go back to it on September 3 when they launch.
The site promises to help users find good music quickly. Artists upload indie music and others vote on it Digg-fashion to push the good stuff to the top of the site. It is at least somewhat similar to iJigg, which also lets users vote, Digg-like, on music.
ContraStream will leverage the user-generated voting data to create let users search/browse popular music. Each artist and album also gets its own dedicated page on the site.
In an effort to “keep the music indie,” users are encouraged to flag music that is “too mainstream.”
