Do you spend a bunch of time listening to mp3’s on your computer, or on your iPod or something like that?
If you do, you might want to check out a service called “LastFM”. It’s a social network for music fans. You install a plugin on your machine, and it keeps track of what you’ve listened to lately, and gives you reports based on your listening trends, what your friends are listening to, etc, etc, etc. I use iTunes as my primary mp3 player, but there’s plugins for Winamp and Windows Media player, too. It’s quite cool – I’ve been doing this for about three years now, and have quite a playlist history. Check out my profile page here.
Anyway, I’ve started up a group for visitors to this site. As I JUST started it, there’s not much there, so I’m hoping to get some of you to join the group, as one needs 10 members before it will generate any playlists. I think it would be cool to see what some of the readers of this site listen to.
There’s more info about LastFM on the Wikipedia page for it, and on their own site, too.
