Music, like other forms of media is very social, from the mix tapes of my youth to the social media tools of today. This weekend, I started thinking about where we are with social media. For a long time, I’ve used Pandora and Last.fm I’ve liked tools that have mashed up Last.fm and Pandora as well as listed music I’ve played on my N900 on Last.fm. However, there have been some interesting developments since I started playing with Pandora and Last.fm. I just wish I could find an app that would scrobble the tunes I’m listening to on a Pandora android app to Last.fm

What got me thinking about this is over the weekend, I noticed a lot of my friends posting YouTube music videos on their Facebook Wall. I started adding them to a playlist on YouTube. With that, I can then play the playlist on my cellphone or on my Roku Player. (Yes, I loaded the YouTube Private Channel before it got shutdown, and I hope to use it until Roku and Google work out their issues and make YouTube fully supported).

Of course, I started thinking about how it would be nice if I could just click on the video to more easily add it to my Social Music playlist on YouTube, similar to the way you can get Last.fm to save information about music you’ve listened to or easily like songs on Pandora. Perhaps someone will come up with a nice way of doing this.

I also took a quick look at Vevo. So far, I am very unimpressed with it. It won’t allow me to upload my avatar and won’t save a bunch of my settings. Most of the music seems way to mainstream for my tastes, and I couldn’t find a way to associate my online profile to the Vevo Android app.

Meanwhile, music is moving to the cloud. The Last.fm app on the Android doesn’t seem to scrobble music from Amazon’s MP3 cloud. Perhaps that will get fixed at some time. However, Amazon’s MP3 cloud really hasn’t caught my attention. I’ve thought about experimenting with Ubuntu One, but it costs $3.99 a month to have mobile access, and it just isn’t worth that much.

So, what are you doing to share music?
