Last FM Open Mind Index | 77

"The LastFM Open Mind Index (OMI) is an interesting way to understand your taste in music. The index is a calculation based on your last.fm top artists of the last 12 months. The quantity of your played songs, as well as the artist-tags are reflected in the calculation. A high OMI is an indicator for a high musical bandwidth and your openness for different kind of music."

Favtape: Mixes Don't Get Any Faster Than This | Listening Post from Wired.com
by garret
"Muxtape is also really cool," Sit explained, "but you need to manually upload the MP3s, which makes it a drag to create a muxtape and update it." FavTape solves both problems by grabbing song URLs from SeeqPod to power an on-demand service that creates Muxtape-like web page mixtapes out of your Pandora or Last.fm favorites.

A while back Last.fm released a command line tool to retrieve metadata for an arbitrary mp3 from their new fingerprint database. I tried it yesterday and it seemed way better than MusicBrainz. So, as a person with a lot of random mp3s, I cooked up a script for retagging entire folders of songs.
Last.fm Tagger
by sbrothier
So, I'm trying my hand at Cocoa, namely RubyCocoa. Objective-C is a bit out of my grasp right now. If I start needing big performance boosts, I'll go that route. In the meantime, writing RubyCocoa apps is insanely fun. I wrote this basic tagger in 2 days (roughly 6 hours) and it works pretty well!
If you plan on trying out this app, create a small playlist with the name 'lastfmtagger' and put a few albums in there.

WikiFM = Last.fm + Wikipedia

You are supposed to be able to listen to an artist and read their Wikipedia entry (if one exists) at the same time. I say supposed to, because when I tried it I was only able to get it to play music similar to the artist.
