Music discovery is all the rage for the music industry right now. From Internet Radio like Pandora to streaming sites like Spotify, Grooveshark and Jango, there are countless ways for fans to discover new music. Not one to want traffic to leave their little island, YouTube has launched a new music discovery site in test mode, dubbed YouTube Disco, or the YouTube Music Discovery Project.

Here is a quick video when I test drove the service. The search I did was for West Coast hip-hop upcommer Glasses Malone.

YouTube Disco – Like Pandora for Music Videos

So the site has its flaws and is in testing mode, but the ideas are sound.

If you are looking to maximize your exposure on YouTube (which you should be) you need to start writing killer description, titles and tagging your videos to associate yourself with like-music. This will help your videos not only be found on this new YouTube playlist, but also in related and recommended videos that the service offers.

Have you had a chance to play with YouTube Disco yet? What do you think? How can you take advantage of what it has to offer? Let’s talk in the comments below.
