The Friday Fillip: Audiofil.es

There’s a new source of stimulating sound this month: Audiofile.es. “Great radio,” says part of its tagline, and they want you to be a programmer as well as a listener.

The idea is simple crowdsourcing: If you come across an interesting audio file while you’re browsing the web, tweet the link with the tag #audiofiles and Audiofil.es will automatically add it to their database. Not only can you feed your finds into the mix, but you can also easily create playlists for yourself when you’re on the Audiofil.es site.

What sort of things are already there? The topmost “producer pick” today is “The hidden world of girls,” a two hour special hosted by Tina Fey; then there’s “Charles Darwin and the Racing Asparagus” from NPR, “Listening to The Doors,” or “Have you heard about B flat?“.

Go have a look and a listen. It’s early days yet for Audiofil.es, but I’ve got you in at the start; now you can add to the mix.
