Music Discovery on the Desktop [TheSixtyOne, Fluid]

TheSixtyOne is an excellent music discovery site with some rpg style leveling up, but like all internet radio I often close the browser accidentally and lose my music stream. Fluid to the rescue!

Fluid lets you have a dedicated browser (for web apps) that is isolated from the rest of the browsers and acts like a desktop application. To make it complete I created an icon specifically for TheSixtyOne and I thought I post it for anyone else.  Sorry PC, Fluid is Mac/Universal only.
