The Idea

Find people with a similar musical taste to yourself! Subscribe to a web site that scans your iPod (or upload your iTunesDB file) and the site finds other people with similar musical tastes. Then you can choose to chat, email, etc. Based on the percentage of matching songs and/or artists a correlation score is calculated with other subscribers. Obscure songs could score higher than common songs ? the weightings should default to some reasonable model, but could be user modified (to let people indicate preferences, such as, I have a bunch of ?Blink182? songs, but prefer ?Greenday?)

I thought of this idea when I was...

Thinking how to combine online dating with iTunes. Maybe this has already been done, but all I could find online were sites like ?Flavour eXchange? which are additional music suggestion sites. Expand the service to GPS enabled, mp3 playing, smart phones to alert you if the girl next to you on the train is listening to the same song as you!

I also posted an idea on the same line, but also considering the psycographics of the user. Check "Must-have iPod hits".

I will gladly suscribe to any of both.

;)
