"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.

Thanks, only some of the page has been updated, mine doesn't look right for some reason.

Yep, it should work.

And yay! It's back.. A whole load of songs just suddenly appeared from what I played while Audioscrobbler was down.. didn't think it would actually log them. :-|

I've got media player 10, anyone know if the plugin will work with it.

I played a load of stuff for a couple of hours last night, it's not on the recent list but its not been added to the other list either. :s

I just don't like 50 Cent (even though he is a chart topper in the US), mostly because his braces stick out of his mouth.

Its me who is listening to Creed. But thats not all of his albums, only one song - My Sacrifice.

As for Backstreet Boys, well I'm kinda obsessed by them because they were the first bands that I listened to.

Of course, you don't have to agree, but that's how I see them, which is why they're on my iTunes list. I don't think they're on my Audioscrobbler list yet though.

EDIt - corrected. 1 LP track has registered.

I only disagree with your dislike of Linkin Park and Evanescence.

Both are decent acts to fit certain moods hip hop or rock just don't cater for.

They're just right when you want a little change, but couldn't take priority over someone like Kanye, Talib, 2Pac etc.

Tupac > Legend

I was wrong to make such a big thing of Linkin Park, compared to Backstreet Boys and Shania Twain they're fooking musical genius.

Don't worry, Creepy is too closed-minded/ignorant to notice the difference.
