These are some websites which I use for pleasure or in the classroom.
2. STEREO MOOD - choose a mood and see what songs the site suggests. I like using this one while getting the room ready before my students arrive.

3. YOUTUBE ALARM - choose a song from youtube, set the alarm time and you can wake up to the sound of your favorite song. I use this website very often in class to time activities, or to remind me of something important we need to do that day. I also use it while surfing the web to keep me focussed and keep track of time.

4. LYRICS TRAINING - I couldn't leave this one out. It's a fantastic site anyone can use to have fun or for learning purposes. You listen to a song and have the chance to complete gaps with the missing words. Wonderful listening practice! If you have an IWB, try dividing your students into 2 groups and have a competition for completing a song. It's great fun!

Ana Maria,
Great post and really loved mixtape. Made me nostalgic.
Reminded me of 2 old sites 1. the old, pioneering scraper of the web - Mixwit. 5-6 years ago, had a lot of fun and great contests until it was shut down by the music nazis online. Here's what it used to look like and you could make - kept an old one on my server - http://eflclassroom.com/mixwit/justino/fullscreen.html
2. Still existing "Mixtube" - here my collection of subtitled video using it. http://community.eflclassroom.com/page/mixtube-1
Wow, I didn't know about Mixwit and loved to see the full screen version with the cassette playing your selection. Something I missed in Mixtape was the possibility to embed the player showing the cassette.
As to mixtube, I tried to listen to your songs but I don't know why nothing happened. :(
Thanks for sharing the tools you like or liked using.
