Re: [microsound] Social Networking sites for music

[Brian Klein <btk3782@xxxxxxxxx>]

i've used pandora, but not last.fm, and i've only used pandora for  listening to music; i haven't put any on the site, if that's even  possible. its accuracy in matching music genres is ok/acceptable. when  i typed in "pete seeger" it gave me a bunch of pretty good folk and  folk/rock artists, mixed in with some lame singer/songwriter crap.  results were more mixed when i typed in "venetian snares." this  resulted in a variety of electronic music ranging from autechre, to  kruder and dorfmeister, to trance, to more minimal techno and  microsound type stuff. i didn't think this was a very accurate  match.  the last time i used it was several months ago, though so  it may have been improved by now.
