Community-building exercises

Anyone use Audioscrobbler? I've just joined.

"Audioscrobbler is a computer system that builds up a detailed profile of your musical taste. After installing an Audioscrobbler Plugin, your computer sends the name of every song you play to the Audioscrobbler Server. With this information, the Audioscrobbler server builds you a 'Musical Profile'.

"[...] Audioscrobbler is able to automatically generate suggestions for new songs/artists you might like. These suggestions are based on the same principles as Amazon's "People who bought this also bought X,Y,Z", but because the Audioscrobbler data is what people are actually listening to, the suggestions tend to make more sense than Amazon."

Yup! I'm a recovering Scrobblaholic(?). It gets so addictive...

Hm, looking at my playlist, I need to delete my Embarrassing Stats of Yore and start over with some cool stuff. Yah.

I've just joined! I'll get a link out once I've generated enough tracks for it to matter.
