Dizzler is an online media player that connects to online sources to deliver free streaming music, radio, videos and games. Using the search box on their website, you can search by track title, artist, album or even by lyrics. Once you have found the song you want, the player will find the most appropriate source. By signing up for free, you will have the ability to add a track to your playlist so that you can find it easily next time. This feature works with not only music: you can add your favorite radio station, flash games or videos to your playlist. Dizzler also provides a code that allows you to add your player - with the skin you choose and your playlist - onto your website, blog or social networking profile.
Dizzler Desktop is the downloadable version of this player: once installed, you will have the same features as the online version, but right on you desktop!
The player’s look is altogether very important, that is why Dizzler has come up with a simple but good-looking interface. At the top of the media player, you will find four different tabs: “Music”, “Video”, “Radio” and “Games”. Another advantage is that you can change the skin to match you likes. These themes include: the iPhone look-alike and Sponge Bob Square Pants pictures. Not only can you get a personalized player but you can also add your logo and text which is great for bands who want to upload their music.
Now that you know what Dizzler is and how it works, let’s see if it’s worth it:
Most of us are here just for the music. Just as well: you can find nearly all popular artists’ songs. The quality of the music is quite good at an average of 128 kbps but you may find songs that were incorrectly tagged.
It looks like most of the videos on Dizzler are from YouTube but it’s still nice to have both videos and music in the same place, especially when you can keep a list of your favorite ones.
You can search for internet radios by popularity, genre, US state or country as well. When you’ve found a nice station, you can add it to – once again – your favorites list.
Searching for flash games is just as easy but you might not get many results as there are very few sources. One of the advantages of using Dizzler for gaming is that you will not have to view the advertisements that are displayed on the websites they originate from.
Dizzler is also trying to make their website look like a community of music lovers. A button is at your disposal which directs you to a “Who’s Online” page where you can view other people’s profiles with their playlists and skins.
Dizzler does not allow downloading for legal reasons. But if you want to transfer media onto your computer or portable device, you can use programs such as URL Snooper or Orbit Downloader. They are both easy to use on the online version but downloading gets more complicated when you are using Dizzler Desktop.
All in all, this piece of freeware can be useful for listening to music on your computer, especially when you want to keep the viruses out. The simplicity of the player is excellent and the features are not bad, so I would recommend it to anybody who likes music! However, as it is in early development stages, you may encounter problems as you go along.
