Does this exist? November 29, 2007
Posted by admin in : Irrelevant, Music , trackbackI don’t think it exists, but let me know if it exists.
One thing I enjoy about Pandora or last.fm is its ability to turn me on to music I’ll like, or allow me to set my mood. So I can create a “station” that consists of music like the Clash — and I can expect some Clash plus a lot of other music I’ll probably like — some new to me, some not.
The thing I don’t like about these services is that they are low-fi streams for the most part, and require network connection.
I have a fairly large music collection on my hard drive. I can browse it, create playlists, etc. But that’s work and I’m lazy. I’d love to be able to have folksonomic behaviors applied to my own collection. I’d like to be able to tell itunes or whatever player I like to play songs “like X” and let it build a nice playlist for me. iTunes has a “smart playlist” feature but it’s not that smart.
The idea would be to draw upon the community out there which builds up these relationships. Your player could download just the relationships you’re interested in, and apply what it learns to your own collection.
I guess we’re almost there. Maybe it’s just around the corner. May be it exists and I’m revealing my ignorance. That’s probably it.
