I learned about Audioscrobbler on Friday, set up my own account -- http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/foetusized/ -- and spent the weekend playing with it. In short, you sign up for a free account (there are some extra features if you pay, but I haven't), and then download a plug-in for your computer music player (I downloaded one for the Windows Media Player). The plug-in transmits what you play back to their servers, which accumulate the data: for individuals, for groups, and overall.
It also makes recommendations for music based on what you have played, and what others with similar profiles have played. My list recommends The Pixies at the top of the list -- http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/foetusized/recommendations/ -- which is consistent with what I posted in the "Artists You Ought to Like but Don't" thread.
Anyone else have an Audioscrobbler account? If there's interest, we could start an AudioKarma group there, for members from here -- Foe
