Hi Antony, you could also bring the Hype Machine (hype.non-standard.net) into the, er, mix, and use it to find free mp3s by the bands you’ve discovered on Pandora/last.fm that are similar to the one you heard in the bar that was identified by Shazam.
Shazandorype, perhaps.
No wait, that’s a horrid word.

Horrible word: great idea! Thanks, Fiona… :-)

I confess I’m hooked, experimented with Pandora, switched to Last.fm, but was side tracked by http://www.musicovery.com before falling for http://www.haystack.com. But what if last.fm was mashed with http://www.plazes.com so you really could track down the only other Clash fan in WC2

Thanks, Philip – Plazes looks amazing, especially…

This does the same thing but with your own music collection: http://usin.wordpress.com/2007/03/01/gadget-and-a-half/. It will also recommend things that aren’t already in your collection.
With the effect that “longtail” economics is having on the charts, genome-style projects must surely make music the forecast battleground for the rest of the market.
