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'm currently at work but listening to my computer at home which has my whole collection of 950 albums sat on it :)

I seem to be doing the same, my graph finally appeared this morning and it's already doing the bendy thing ... trouble is I play lots of tracks that I like from various artists, don't tend to play a whole album at once, but you can see the artists you like to play more than others very quickly :)

I could never do it on this computer, it only has a fraction of my collection.

:(


What I find funny, is how everyone's band usage is clearly exponential, instead of a smooth gradient. I certainly try to rotate my bands on here a bit, yet I follow this bendy trend.

Ok, well I only managed to get to 100 tracks played yesterday afternoon so I'll give it a check tomorrow.

Thanks for the info :)

Ok thats good to know, cheers :)

I take it "You need over 100 songs in your profile before you get any neighbours" means the number of tracks you've played? I've managed to rack up 178 in the last two days and currently still adding so I guess I'll just have to wait a little while.

It's about right to be honest.

I think you need a certain number of tracks as well, so they know what to base your recommendations on.

How long does it take roughly for the recommendations to appear?

It says a day or two but is it any quicker or slower?
