FOAFING THE MUSIC
-- the next generation of music recommenders --
http://foafing-the-music.iua.upf.edu
=====================================================
FOAFING THE MUSIC [1] is the first music recommender system based on
user's profile. This means that, depending on what you like, what you
listen to, where you live, you get personalized music
recommendations.
It's done under the SIMAC IST-EU project. SIMAC (Semantic Interaction
with Music Audio Contents) is about software tools to enhance our
music enjoyment experience.
FOAFING THE MUSIC makes use of information available on other websites
(in the form of thousands of RSS feeds) to recommend you music that
you'll love!
The system uses the vocabulary created in the Friend of a Friend
(FOAF) project [2] to define user preferences. The FOAF project is
about creating a Web of machine-readable homepages describing people,
the links between them and the things they create and do.
Moreover, the system gets noticed of your listening habits (using your
last.fm account and the Audioscrobbler plugin [3]). This way, you're
always discovering new and exciting music, based on the music you
listen to.
Then, based on your user profile and your listening habits the system
recommends you:
* Artists similars to the ones you like
* New music releases from your favourite and recommended artists (from
sources such as: iTunes, Amazon, Yahoo shopping and the like)
* Related MP3-blogs to download
* Podcast sessions to stream/download
* Automatic creation of playlists based on acoustic and musical
similarity calculated from the audio
* Incoming concerts near your city
* Artists' related news
Last but not least, if you have a Webjay account [4], you can even
play your playlists in our music player, and view related playlists
from other users.
So, visit us at http://foafing-the-music.iua.upf.edu and create and
account or, at least, try our demo!
Keep foafing the music,
Oscar.
