I thought it might be interesting to have a Theme Park Review group on Last.fm (Audio Scrobbler), so I created one.

 

http://www.last.fm/group/Theme%20Park%20Review

 

I know a lot of people on here already use Audio Scrobbler, and if you don't, it's pretty easy. Just sign up at audioscrobbler.com and then download a plug-in for whatever media player you like to use. We need to get at least 10 people signed up so that it will compile charts weekly. 8)

 

The weekly TPR chart:

Welcome to Audioscrobbler

 

Audioscrobbler builds a profile of your musical taste using a plugin for your media player (Winamp, iTunes, XMMS etc..). Plugins send the name of every song you play to the Audioscrobbler server, which updates your musical profile with the new song. Every person with a plugin has their own page on this site which shows their listening statistics. The system automatically matches you to people with a similar music taste, and generates personalised recommendations.

^ Very good question. I'm still not quite sure entirely. After awhile it starts recommending bands you might like, and people who have similar tastes as you. *shrug*

These music recommendations services NEVER work well when you have an eclectic taste in music. They're based on pushing sales of sucky music, and they always recommend either stuff you already have, or things that you totally don't like. It's good if you like Britney Spears or Linkin Park, 2 very distinctive and very definable styles. (just an example, i hate britney, but LOVE LP!) But when you're into variations electronic/dance/house, (and there are many specific ones) and they start recommending losers like Moby, (why does everyone call his style electronic/techno is beyond me,) you start to see their ulterior motives.

I should sign up just to screw up the stats, and to lead ususpecting people into listening to bizarre music. I can just see someone randomly sampling some Strapping Young Lad...

I've joined, as WalrusMan139 what else? next week you're going to have some weird results.

 

EDIT: And if you're a part of it, you can get my sig. Pretty easy, just play around with it a bit until you get it how you want.

I agree. This kind of service is usually pointless to a guy like me. While on the treadmill today, my iPod played the following three songs in a row:

Torn, Toad the Wet Sprocket

The Bridge, Pantera

Lonely Day, Bruce Springsteen

 

I enjoyed all three, even if the pace was jarring while trying to run. When Amazon or iMusic make recommendations to me it's mostly crud.

 

I'll check it out, but I don't have high hopes.
