Re: [microsound] Social Networking sites for music

[Björn Eriksson <nowerik@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have looked some into both. I think these are both inteded as new markets 
for music lovers in cooperation with different distributors.
Pandora gave me some new interesting suggestions to artist I'd never heard 
before. Also some suggestions that I did not like.

Last.fm I have not run so much. I am hesitating about installing the 
audioscrobbler plugin or maybe it is now a media player on its own (which 
collects the titles you are playing in your media player into a database.)

Both sites seems tobe also a market for new artists to send in music to get 
exposure. How succesful it is I have no doubt.
