Seeqpod now delivers free music to your iPhone/iTouch

‘Playable search’ they call it: Seeqpod crawls the web for available music and indexes it for search&play. I first came across the site months ago and liked it in all it’s cheeky simplicity. You can even make an embeddable playlist widget where you stream the (often illegal) music from a third party site. Is it altogether legal? Who knows… (Update: See below)
Now they’ve increased the fun and created a mobile version, located at http://seeqpod.com/m. It works like a charm, try it out by adding the url to your mobile browser. The only main thing lacking right now is playlist support (which might be due to Apple’s way of handling streaming media via QuickTime).
On a sidenote, I’ve asked SeeqPod to crawl the website of my band stol.nu, and I’m happy to inform you that simply searching for ‘stol’ will return our entire music catalog, ready to play.
You may also want to try a competing site Songza and the slightly different Deezer, a free index of playable studio music.
Update
Apparently somebody cares about the legal aspects of Seeqpod: Warner Music just filed suit. This should be interesting, given that Seeqpod is basically just a search engine (no hosting).
