Splice Music is an interesting example of using Flash-based tools to build a social network.  Aimed at aspiring DJs, the site echoes the spirit of JumpCut, the video mash-up service that Yahoo! recently acquired, and the Flash-based sequencer offers some fairly sophisticated audio tools.  It’s cool to see a site embracing rich internet app technology to bring creative folks together.

Here’s
an example song sequencer interface (press play button to hear and drag clips around).  The site enables users to:

• Remix existing songs by other DJs
• Drag and drop sound clips
• Embed remixes in a blog or web page with an HTML snippet they provide (similar to YouTube)  
• Rate songs as well as sounds that compose a song, and search a database of community-rated sounds
• Record new sounds directly within the UI
• Browse existing sounds via tags
• Click on a sound in the sequence to see metadata about that song (BPM, community rating, length, tags, etc)
• Create detailed artist profiles
• Add friends
