Musicovery - Music Recommendation System
A Music Recommender System works like a search engine for music but on a personalized basis, with collaborative filtering, drawing on social networking, network analysis and Fourier transforms so as to select songs that you are likely to like and then to play them for you on streaming radio.
One of the newer MRS’s out there is musicovery - it’s got a cute interface, is a bit on the slow side and seems to have a limited but good repertoire. The competition for musicovery includes such established players as the social last.fm and the elaborate Pandora.
