Several weeks ago, I came across a new service for recommending music: http://www.owlmm.com/  It seems like a great idea.  You visit the website, select a track of mp3 music from your local machine, select a segment of the track and it will recommend tracks that are similar to your selected segment.

I tried the service with one sample track and think that the technology has potential but wasn’t terribly impressed with its accuracy overall.  This seems like a systematic way of matching characteristics in a way more like Pandora that needs additional attributes to tighten up the results.  I love that it has a huge database of alternative music sources (cc and Magnatune).  That’s a plus. 

When I have time, I'm going to give it a more thorough test run because I want to love the service.
