I would actually like to hear that playlist with the violins. I remember being quite interested in the echo nest when I first heard about it, so I’ll be keeping an eye on developments here too…good luck with the new job!

Seriously, this is really good that Echo Nest is rolling all this out.

I’ve been hoping someone would develop a project like this for years – after finding just about every music recommendation engine to function like you mentioned – “if you like Britney, you might like Christina” which isn’t that great.

See what I don’t understand is how someone like me can listen to almost no dance music – yet on rare occasions I will hear a dance song I like. If a computer could identify exactly what it is about that song I liked, when in general I don’t like that kind of music than that would be really impressive.

Is that the kind of thing The Echo Nest will be able to do?

I did a mini-review of the EchoNest-powered ThisIsMyJam (jeez) almost a year ago, as well as sharing a couple e-mails with Adam Baratz.

Impressive even then. can’t wait to see what’s next.
