Solayo: A digital jukebox

New music service Solayo strays a bit from the usual streaming service by letting you cull and build playlists from YouTube videos and Soundcloud tracks. You can play any song you have access to on these services, create playlists, and mix and match the songs. If you want to leave it in the hands of Solayo, there is also a genre-based radio station on the site that you can stream. You can check out the free service here.
