I decided to try out a music recommendation service called iLike, using Google to get around their home page’s Application Error (Rails) (whoops!) to download the app.
It seems like a so-so thing. You get to listen to previews of other songs on iTunes that are similar to the one you’re currently listening to. That’s enough to make it interesting, but not enough to keep it around. The one added thing that pushed me into keeping it is that, in addition to the songs on iTunes, it has recommendations of songs that are free (where they come from, I know not), and will even download them into iTunes for you. Sweet!
I recently downloaded one that had a title that is similar to a journal entry I was thinking of writing: “Song For My Future Wife”, where the future wife is, of course, an unknown person.
