The two Internet radio and music recommendation services last.fm and pandora will both make the same: on the basis of its own information and preferences they seek out music that could appeal to a stream and the. (Pandora had to block, unfortunately, because of legal difficulties all users outside North America.) You can specify both as an artist, and then will put together a matching program. Behind the scenes, however, the age-old brewing battle between man and machine: last.fm catalogs the tastes of all its users. Among other things, you can become his iPod "scrobble" leave, that is, the program analyzes a) the songs were often played, and b) the same songs on the iPod were often played. Pandora the other hand, the scientific approach up the cause: in the "Music Genome" project, the music is analyzed under the sovereignty of musicologists by different criteria, grouped and indexed.
And now guess which works better? I tell you: last.fm wins hands down. For example, if I " Superpitcher ", then come on Pandora though a few interesting things, but sooner or later you will end up always with fair-trance. Well, now it seems difficult to define objectively what the Superpitcher different from Paul van Dyk. But music lovers can easily ... and therefore the last.fm program is on the subject by miles. Generally, the relationship with me about 25% of songs I have myself or know him well, 40% of songs by bands that I've halfway on the screen, and the rest of the things I do not know yet, but to me very often very much. And almost always the things which in their order of a consistent sound.
So we are not replaceable in terms of musical taste! Yay!
