Musio music recommendations
Are Last.fm and Pandora falling short of expectations? Is the idea of a new free music service knocking?
My recent hardrive mishap forced me into experimenting with new options regarding music at home. Of late, I’ve relied on the web based Pandora (created by The Music Genome Project). All in all, I have to say that I am utterly impressed with the players ability to select songs at random which surpisingly meet my listening tastes.
Late last evening I caught wind of a new “beta” service by the name of Musio. Similar to Last.fm and Pandora, Musio aims at providing its users with a means of acquring recommended audio tracks. The greatest feature offered by the Musio service is the downloadable desktop music player. I call it a music filterer. The player will detect recently played tracks through your favorite media player as well as portable devices. The track information is then “captured” and used by the Muiso database to provide recommended music. Worth a look for Windows users.
