    Nice find! I just started using it too:

    http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/XenoExistence/

    At first I thought it would have spyware attached, but it doesn't and they won't give away your personal info either. I like the "Similar people to you are listening to these artists:" feature :)

    Edit: hehe, added you to the friends list, Cloud!

    Weird. It takes a bit for it to kick in I found, I think you have to play five songs until it reports what you listened to. There's a tonne of different plugins too for different programs.. I'm going to have to start watching anime in Windows Media Player rather than Winamp :p

    Arcueid jsut pointed out to me that it only works with audio files that use ID3 tags. A bit of a shame for users like myself who have a habit of removing those things...

    Hmm, I'm interested to try my stats, though. Time to get IDing... ^^

    Yeah, haha. Matt and I can't really use audioscrobbler since we both have the habit of removing the tags.

    Dunno what player you use but I used MusicMatch Jukebox to supertag my MP3's from their filenames.

    I thinnk musicbrainz does something similar.

    Anyway, I created a boards.jp group:

    Will it work with Windows Media Player? I hope so cause once i get home at the weekend i ereally want to try it out. I like the sound of the suggestion thing, thats what i really want to try out.
    I'll have to add some friends when i get it, cause if you go to the networks section it'll say "[username] has no friends. Ha ha!".

    I use Winamp. I've always manually removed all Id3 tags manually. XD

    I finally got 300 songs in my list so I can listen to the personal radio now! Actually, I think anyone can if they want. The first song to come on was The Pillows - Advice, lol.

    I wonder how long it will take until the 'Recommendations' show up, it said that I have to have at least 100 songs in my list and I have 200 more than that now.
