"audioscrobbler: a cool thing to join"

[URL]http://www.audioscrobbler.com[/URL]

Download a plugin for your favourite mp3 player, and audioscrobbler keeps a record of all the songs you play EVER on its website. This is good because it lets you know how cool your taste actually is, as opposed to how cool you think it is, by generating weekly and all-time charts. This is my page: [URL]http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/unknownkernel/[/URL] I've been doing it for ages and the most I've ever listened to a song is 7 times. Surprising. And my favourite song is apparently M'Gell by Ultrakurt, which I've never heard of but turns out to be a song on a mix CD I have.

Anyway, the coolest thing is that everything is linked. Click on a song in your profile and you get a list of other people who love that tune, or listen to it a lot because they really hate it. Click on an artist and you get a list of their most popular songs. Click on a user and you see all their fave tunes, plus what they're listening to RIGHT NOW. Woo! You can also get reccommendations based on what you listen to - like amazon except that it works, and throws up things you've never heard of.

And and and you can make your own groups, and I have very cleverly made a special reserve one for you to join [URL]http://www.audioscrobbler.com/group/Special%2BReserve[/URL] Groups with 10 or more members get weekly charts, so Special Reserve would have its very own number one.

So, yes, you should all join.

Ah, thanks.

Also, does it count tracks that you skip past? I skip a lot of songs on my PC as they are album tracks I don't particularly like, or just songs I've got sick of.

Click on the SR group link while logged in. There's a join group button near the top.

I'll do this tonight. Couple o' questions:

Can I have plugins for more than one player and it still work? I use iTunes, QCD and occasionally, WMP.

How do I join the SR group?

Talib Kweli = Excellent choice!

I knew this would happen; everyone just slating each others music. Just shut up and listen to your own if you don’t like anyone else’s.

For general tut tut-ness, [URL]http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/O_Malley/[/URL]

Grease, 3 times. Oh yeah!!!

No, because there's a perfectly good thread here and there's no point in posting it again.

Almost all of the toppers in the charts belong to the rock/metal/hard-rock genre.

The members are only 50000 odd in numbers. I think its not till the number reaches a million or so that the chart will become a true display of the taste of people.

Until then, this website might just be an advertising agent. But I enjoyed the site anyways.

But only 14 members for specialreserve? Well, we should have more than 200 members.

Hmmmm. I am posting this in general chat.

EDIT: -

I posted this in the general chat forum; and I was tol to "Get Out" by two people - Bullett and E-beerdeeds. I think thats because of the yellow card that is stuck on my statistics. I've made a very bad *Sigh* *Sigh* *Sigh*

Oh shush. I'm off to see them (aswell as Rise Against, Alexisonfire, Finch and Fightstar... see a pattern here?) in May.

Is that an instrumental? If so, I might let you off.
