Gigabeat

EW's GRADE
B

Some interesting but inchoate ideas are floating around Gigabeat, among them the GigaSpiral, a hurricane-like scatter-graph of band associations: Simply input your band of choice and see its arbitrarily decided relationship to other bands. (Tool get a swirl with Black Sabbath and AC/DC nearest the ''eye'' and Van Halen in the outer arm.) Slick Java work, a Radiospy-like station probe, and a nifty lyric-based (!) search engine suggest this still-developing site will soon be a good gig. B
