Jango celebrates one million users with widget
Jango, the "social jukebox" site which launched in public beta in November, announced today that it has already exceeded the one million user mark.
To continue this growth, the company says, it has made available the Jango jukebox embeddable widget which was promised several months ago. The widget, as seen below, contains a scrolling repertoire of artists and continuous free stream of music in a simple skinnable form. A Facebook version of the jukebox will be released next.
While legal constraints prevent many artists from appearing on the site, increased user participation could eventually bring absentee musicians around. Some artists available through Jango, most notably Steve Albini's Shellac, do not even officially sell digital media. This makes Jango an excellent starting point for curious listeners who cannot find a good enough sampling elsewhere.
