"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.

I hope this next bit was meant to be ironic:

I think that just could be so it's easier for the morons to take in... I could be mistake though :P

"Average per week" or something, perhaps.

I've noticed how there's no numbers on the ranking system, just the lengths of the bars, if that makes any sense.

I'm not so sure. I don't think it's purely worked out on the total amount of songs you've listened to. 'Cause some people below me have actually listened to more than me.

Maybe it's over time aswell?

I see you're up to 3rd in the list of Rise Against fans.

One hell of a long way to the top though.

Not currently. Guess it's possible though.

Is there an audioscrobbler for iPods? Like, one that updates the db every time you plug it in?

Mine isn't updating at all, it's rather annoying.

Everyone in my other group (besides the SR one) has had theirs updated. I don't even have the bottom two lists yet :-(

I've listened to it about 30 times in 2 or 3 days :)

I found it by looking for him and just downloading whatever was top of his list. And i have the soundtrack downstairs, given it 6 years ago and never played it.

Ooh. The one you listened to 4/5 times? Haven't heard it yet.. I spent an hour or so listening to one song without realising until next door popped their head over the fence and said.. :-s
