GET STARTED. IT'S EASY!

1. Create an iTunes Account. To hear our music, you need to have iTunes on your computer. It’s simple to create an iTunes account and it’s free.

2. We take the hassle out of your music search. We have one simple mission: to help busy adults stay current with the music scene. So whether you’ve completely lost track, or you just don’t have time to swim through 10 million songs in the iTunes Store, we’re glad you’ve discovered valslist.

3. We’ll introduce you to music that you might not find on your own. We search for the best new tunes so you don’t have to. We spend all day every day listening to music – for you! We discover the best new artists, re-discover those B side vintage oldies that you grew up with, and introduce you to some new genres that are exciting and very listenable. Our collection of music is arranged into playlists that can go everywhere with you.

4. Unlike other music sites that “help you find music,” we are not a computer algorithm with predictable results. We are humans who handpick each and every song with you in mind. We hope you’ll see that valslist is not predictable music, but music that’s predictably good.

5. Browse through our playlists and click to listen: Simply click on the Hear Music button which takes you to our playlists. Click on one and you’ll be taken to iTunes. Double click on a song to hear a 30 second clip. Click “buy” and the song will go directly into your iTunes Music Library. You can see a list of everything you’ve bought in the “Purchased” file in the left margin of your computer.

Regular Playlists have blue titles and are a great blend of music to use anywhere, whether you’re hanging out at home, having a party, or running with your iPod.

Specialty Playlists are yellow and all begin with the word “just”. These playlists include specific music (just CHILL, just DINNER PARTY, just DANCE, to name a few.)
