I installed the Audioscrobbler plugin for iTunes a couple days ago. It’s pretty interesting to see what I really listen to. The data’s not terribly meaningful now, as there’s only a few hours of stuff there, but I can tell that a few months or a year from now it will be a really valuable thing to have.

What I’m especially interested in is the recommendations feature. Right now, my recommendations list is made up almost entirely of artists I already like - I just haven’t listened to them since I installed the plugin. But once the site’s got a decent sample of what I already have, I’m looking forward to actually discovering new music that I will enjoy. What a concept!
