Indies werden bekannt durch Mundpropaganda. Jemand, der so
ähnliche Dinge hört wie ich, hört außerdem noch die folgenden
Gruppen: ... So etwas kann man automatisieren, und bekommt dann
GroupLens-artige Dienste, die Musik auf Personen matchen.

Für den Open Source Bereich gibt es tatsächlich einen Dienst,
der so etwas leistet und der zumindest in meinem Umfeld
ausgezeichnete Dienste geleistet hat:

In a nutshell, Audioscrobbler endeavours to be your personal
music advisor. It grows to know what music you like by
monitoring what songs you play on your computer. From this
information you can discover other users that share some or all
of your taste in music. You can also view data showing what your
most-played artists are, and find out who likes a particular
artist the most. Basically The Audioscrobbler Project is turning
into a fantastic way of discovering new music, and discovering
people who like the same music as you.

Audioscrobbler started life as a Computer Science degree project
by Richard Jones (better known as RJ) at the University of
Southampton in the UK. The Audioscrobbler Project is an ongoing
exploration into Social Information Filtering, music being the
"Problem Domain".

...

When you have listened to 500 songs, Audioscrobbler will begin
to match you with other users that have a similar taste in music
to you. A list of "similar users" will then appear on your
personal stats page. In the meantime, non-members and people who
have not submitted 500 songs can check out "Scrobbler-Sets".
Here you can supply the names of 2 or 3 artists, and lookup a
set of similar artists. This is a useful tool for discovering
new artists if you are hunting for some new music to
buy/borrow/download. 


A list of the Top 100 Artists shows which artists are most
popular overall. There are many more features being developed,
drop by the IRC channel (irc.dinomite.net #audioscrobbler) to
chat to some of the developers aswell as some of the users. The
Forums are also a great place to discuss ideas, as is the
Developer Mailing List. All registered Audioscrobbler users are
encouraged to sign up to the News Mailing List which is used to
keep everyone informed of changes and upgrades to the system.

Mit anderen Worten, Audioscrobbler ist genau das, was die
Musikindustrie immer noch mehr gefüchtet hat als File Sharing:
Ein Google für guten Geschmack.
