last.fm - the social music revolution
I've been using last.fm for a while now (it used to be called audioscrobbler)
You register on the site and download a plugin for your media player. The plugin uploads the music you are listening to and over time builds recommendations for other music, connects you to people who share similar music tastes, etc. It is really really cool
Since joining up in Nov 2004, I have played over 100,000 trackss (101,231 the last time I checked).
Now what is really cool, all this data is available. I have a chart on my blog which shows the tops songs from last week
I can also get my top artists overall
Or, I can include more details
Cool huh?
Plus, these charts can be customised. There are heaps of designs
And, as a good next gen web service, there's tags, blogs, friends, groups, neighbours and lots of other web 2,0 goodness. Tech Crunch has a good review
If you haven't tried last.fm, give it a spin. This is one of the best
