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.

Ach, I might join up. Been hassled to download it a few months ago by another forum, but I may give in to temptation :p

I never use WMP, I use MediaSource, so I have one album on there, and it says I never listen to music.

Lies.

C'mon, this is a cool idea.

Only need two more now before we get a chart.

A chart!

Ah I see, by mp3 player I thought you meant Zen or iPod or whatnot.

I rarely listen to songs using computer programs :' {

It's open source so you could in fact RTFS instead! Nothing snazzy about it as far as I'm aware, just a little plugin. It's good though.
