Yeah, I didn't go into any detail about Last.fm's Scrobbler, but I think it's pretty amazing. Recommendation systems work better the more data you have, and the Scrobbler collects mountains of data.

I agree that "Recommendation Systems" are part of the future. We will be each others "Taste Makers", and I believe this is exactly what we should be looking at. I signed up on Last.fm and immediately after the account was verified I was given a multitude of different recommendation paths at my fingertips. Popular terms were MGMT, country, Linkin Park, and punk rock. I enjoy MGMT which allowed me to directly jump into the tagging and familiarization process of the system. Also, as I noticed they have a program called the Scrobbler: "Get music recommendations based on the music in your library." "Connect your media player or iPod to fill your library automatically Get Last.fm on your iPhone or Android" Not a bad place to go. Good read!

Not a bad place to go. Good read!
