  • How varied is your music taste?

    31 May 2010, 05:37 by kimkuro

    To do this yourself, use your top 20 artists, and look at the eight highest artists on their similar artists. If any of them repeat, do not count the second entry and every entry after that. If any similar artists are also in your top 20, don not count them either. If any entries are the same artist but with a different name, don't include this similar artist, pick the next one down. For example, in Michael Jackson's similar artists both 'The Jackson 5' and 'The Jacksons' are included, so you would ignore the 'The Jacksons' and pick the artist below them in the similar artist list. It sounds complicated, but it's easy once you get started. Once you have your list, count up every first entry of an artist. Your final socre will be out of 160, so the highest score you can get is 160, which indicates extreme variety. If you want, you can just do it for the top 10, in which case a score of 80 represents extreme variety.

    9. Mystic Forest
    An interesting idea to combine black metal and classical music in an overt manner, but I don't think it really works too well here.

    9. Zimmer's Hole
    Never let it be said that I can't appreciate good fun music. Some of this is, but in general terms I'm not a fan.

    6. Kilfenora Fiddle Ceili Band
    Just not particularly interesting, as Irish folk goes.

    6. Skindred
    One hell of a find. The melodies are still in my head days later, and I don't think they'll leave in a hurry.

    6. Amr Diab
    Ah, the memories. One of my favourite Arabic pop voices, hands down.

    5. Tom Jones
    Some of his more recent music is quite catchy, but over an album he nearly puts me to sleep.

    4. Swashbuckle
    Rather bland thrashy-sounding stuff, with a pirate theme that would be more obvious if the vocals were better.

    3. Atmosphere
    Talented underground hip-hop, that's for sure.

    2. Into Eternity
    I used to rather enjoy this band, but I think my tastes have moved on.

    1. Hate Forest

  • Arabic tags (or other languages)

    21 Jan 2008, 17:16 by flaming_liberal

    I've noticed that there are different ways to go about this.

    عمر دياب (aka Amr Diab) has artist samples on the profile page with Arabic spelling, so I assume that's how it's supposed to be tagged. Virtually every other Arab or Middle Eastern profile page I've seen on last.fm with artist samples is in English, for example; Nancy Ajram, Sherine, or Mostafa Amar.

    So it doesn't seem like there's any agreed-upon way to tag Arabic tracks. My computer can read Arabic, but my mp3 player doesn't support non-Roman characters, so I can't read what I'm listening to when I use it, so I am trying to change all my tags to English.

    Then the problem with transliteration becomes finding the "right" way to spell the Arabic titles, albums, and artist names. For example, Mostafa Amar is just one of the ways his name could be spelled; in fact, a proper non-shami pronunciation of his name would be "Mostafa Qamar", and his first name could be spelled like "Mustafa" or "Moustafa".

  • Last.Fm in Africa

    28 Sep 2007, 13:10 by kuyffie

    African music is rather popular on Last.fm. Artists like Youssou N'Dour, Orchestra Baobab and Ali Farka Touréhave significant numbers of listeners. But do these listeners also come from Africa? And how popular is Last.fm in Africa?

    Of course I know most Africans have something better to do than listening to last.fm - to struggle for life for example - but affordable high speed internet connections become more and more available in some african countries, so i thought it would be interesting to check how many users each african country has at this moment.

    A couple of things have to be taken into account when reading the data below:

    1. some countries seem to attract more misuse then others. To correct data for misuse in general I have reduced the number of users per country with 15. This is a number I estimate to reflect the avarage number of people that do not live in the country thay say they do.

    2. in order to obtain an idea about the penetration of Last. …
