Using the TweetUrMusic application is a great way to discover, share and play music.

This application contains some of today’s hottest and newest music.

Anyone can use this application, not just Twitter users, but only signed-in users can access all of its features. TweetUrMusic even has a Facebook page with current news and updates.

For Twitter users, to get started, just allow the application access to your account through OAuth. Once your account is in sync, you can search for your favorite artist or artists.

TweetUrMusic gives you the option to tweet your favorite song and then listen to it or you can just listen to a snippet of the mp3 solely.

Artists that are searched frequently, or high-in-demand, are shown via a tag cloud on the site’s front page. The “Best Twitter Players” are also showcased on the site. The more you tweet and play tracks, the more friends you’ll make via Twitter.

Since music is a universal interest among people in general, this application is a great way to gain followers. Tweeting a newly released song can expose a Twitter user to it, who hasn’t heard it yet.

Users can download songs, for a small fee,  by clicking on the download box. TweetUrMusic is powered by Playme. Playme offers a free trial to its users, but once the trial is over users will have to pay $9.95 per month to continue downloading songs.
