"Editor\u2019s Note: If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion in \u201CThe Startup Review\u201D series, please see the details here.\nSTARTUP DETAILS:\nCompany Name: Streamzy\n20-word Description: Streamzy is a media search engine (just music for now), that allows users to search, stream, and save customizable playlists.\nCEO's 100-word Pitch: Streamzy, powered by Seeqpod, offers users a simplified approach to retrieving music and media that is already hosted on the Internet. The sleek interface and innovative tools allow users to easily search for music/media, stream these results, and save them onto personal, customizable playlists to be retrievable on any computer with Internet access. Our application is one that will be constantly evolving and taking on new characteristics and innovation along the way to keep our users excited. The features currently enabled on Streamzy.com afford users the opportunity to find the highest quality content possible, and our playlist's drag-and-drop capabilities allow for easy personalization.\nMashable's Take: If you can recall, we brought you word of the launch of SeeqPod, a music search engine, back in July 2007. And months later, we shared the story of SeeqPod\u2019s conflict with Warner Music Group, which sued the website for, in the words of our own Kristen Nicole, \u201Cprofiting from mass infringement.\u201D Well, the site is evidently still active, and a new service, dubbed Streamzy, uses the power of SeeqPod\u2019s search tool to give music fans the option to listen to streaming tracks within the format of a compact Web-application. And, as with SeeqPod itself, Streamzy users can also assemble and save custom playlists for later perusal.\n\nNow, this isn\u2019t the first we\u2019ve heard of a utility build upon the SeeqPod framework. Several months ago, SeeqPod teamed with Songbeat to release a desktop player for songs found through the online engine. But since that specific application is available only for Windows and not Mac OS X, Streamzy may look to some users to be a more attractive offering, being a Web-based service and all.\nAs we\u2019ve already highlighted above, in terms of utility, Streamzy isn\u2019t different from SeeqPod. In fact, its feature set is very much in line with that of its inspiration. Any core uniqueness will be found in its planned expansion into a broader media search utility, not only segmented to music. As of this moment, however, Streamzy still gets our interest. It most definitely offers a more attractive and more compact interface than the original engine which sits beneath its skin. Which grants it our recommendation. Of course, when using Streamzy, we do urge users to only search for non-copyrighted material. The folks behind Streamzy hope you\u2019ll do the same. But that goes without saying.\nSun Startup Essentials"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
