Shuffler.fm launched last summer as a kind of Pandora/StumbleUpon for music blogs, allowing you to surf through blogs whilst listening to jams covered.
The site has built out its functionality, allowing users to listen to tunes from one music blog -- a kind of blog radio station -- as they surf that blog. This was a feature that we really wanted in the first iteration of the service, which automatically shuffled blog posts when a song finished playing (you had to pause a song if you wanted to read the rest of the blog). Now, Shuffler.fm is much more like Spin magazine's iPad app, which allows you to listen to all the tracks in the mag while you read (which is probably no coincidence, seeing as how Shuffler partnered with Spin a few months back to provide a similar functionality on the magazine's website).
New features also include the ability to check out popular songs and artists, search for music and news from your favorite artists (a great way to find playable tracks from acts that you're into), and to save tracks to your own playlist, as well as subscribe to blogs. Music blogs can also easily add their blogs to Shuffler.
Shuffler has also given us a sneak peek at its iPad app, which isn't quite ready for primetime (bug city). Keep an eye on Mash, though, for a walkthrough when it hits the iTunes Store.
