Audioscrobbler (Anyone Remember Firefly?)

asciirock writes "RJ, a University of Southampton grad student in the UK has just put his final year project online. Audioscrobbler is a free plug-in for Linux XMMS and Windows Winamp2. It tracks every tune you play, cross-references with others in the Audioscrobbler community and serves up recommendations. There's also msging, stats and user homepages. In other words... Firefly lives!"

    Listen to *one* Britney Spears track out of curiosity...[]

    What in the hell are you doing listening to Britney in the first place? It's like saying "I found this virus and decided to infect few of my computers.. you know, out of curiousity"

    Someone finally proved mathmatically why clear channel is wrong! Quick, send this to the FCC, oh wait, they wont be able to understand it.

    I think, however, that a correction factor is missing, you should have a phi(c - (p*h(t0)) where p is a correction factor for how open a person is to new music. I know for me that it doesnt take much for me to try something new, but for many people over the age of about 18, they know what they like, and arent going to progress with the change in popular music. This is why old people like oldies.

    NO! Then they might start releasing music I like instead of the stuff they're pushing now.

    A pox on fox for cancelling a show that rox!

    Seriously - I thought this was going to be about how the music you then upload helps you have adventures in Reaver territory.

    Ok! Ok, I'm moving on...
