MusicMap: simple, excellent music recommendations
I’m slowly but surely writing longer capsule reviews and plugging the gaps in my coverage of music recommendation services. I’ve just discovered another site that I like a lot: MusicMap. Why do I like it so much? Because of its simplicity, there’s no signing up, no pressure to make friends, submit data or anything extraneous: just type in an artist and MusicMap presents you with a cloud of names garnered from Last.fm data, those names being larger or smaller depending upon their relevance to the original query. The recommendations are pretty good, but then Last.fm’s service in this area is, in my experience, currently the most accurate. Nicely presented, my only wish would be that the recommendations were linked to the relevant page on Last.fm. Otherwise, colour me happy.
