in case you havent heard, some people from the university of illinois put together an itunes recommendation service program for a class project. i could type out, but the link on their page does a better job.

people have been having some problems uploading their xml files, so look out for that.

    Just FYI...

    I emailed the programmer, and he said all speed issues should be resolved by Wednesday morning.

    I just did it and it seemed plenty fast to me. My estimated wait time was 16 hours though.... They seem pretty busy.

    I got my recommendations and it had a couple good ones for me. I'm not sure how they come up with their recommendations, but I got about 15 recs for Shania Twain. Now I have nothing against her personally and I'm sure she's a talented artist but I have NOTHING in my library that would even resemble her style. Nor do I have any interest in going in that direction...

    I got "Failure."



    It might be that my 15,000 songs are too much for the server.

    Well... like they mentioned... the results are likely to be crap right now... they just don't have enough of a base in order to give reliable results. The more people that connect and upload their info... the more accurate the results will become. It's a pretty sound technique they're using... it just requires some time to build up the database. (Oh... and I'm gay and I don't care for any of that either )

    its weird cuz i listen to a lot of punk and not one band they recommended was punk, i guess they dont have a big selection yet. joey, if u are gay, didnt mean to be insulting. i have gay friends. but u have to admit those arent the most masculin choices
