gracenote - the cddb folks get predictive
From the year two thousand and five I bring you this Jetsons like newsflash from Gracenote, the makers of CDDB: "The new system “fingerprints” the user’s songs by analysing peaks and troughs in the audio of a digital file and uses this to build a profile of a user’s musical preferences.
A user’s PC will then listen to internet radio broadcasts, and compare new songs to the user’s music profile. If the music seems likely to appeal, the recorder saves the song to permanent memory for playback later."
Clever. Gracenote.com has a press release about it. Via the very fine and handcrafted Cubicle Chronicles
