Indy: Auto-Discover Free Music to Download

Posted by timothy on from the no-pirates-here dept.

Luyi Chen writes "Indy is a free p2p music download system, which is a new way for independent musicians to find their listerners. From Buzzsonic News, "Indy uses collaborative filtering, a system similar to that used by Amazon to recommend books, etc, to prospective buyers, to learn about your musical preferences in relation to other Indy users." The author of Indy is also the creator of the Open Source P2P platforms Freenet." (That would be Ian Clarke.)

    The results show that the two most recommended "indy" artists are Green Day and 50 Cent! Never saw that one coming.

    "Clarke is also the designer of Dijjer, a distributed P2P web cache, meant to reduce the bandwidth load on slashdotted websites." - From wikipedia
