Audioscrobbler

If you're looking for a way to keep track of your musical tastes and connect with like-minded individuals, Audioscrobbler may be the perfect solution. As an XMMS/BMP plugin, this software helps build a profile of your musical preferences by sending the name of each song you play to its server. With this information, Audioscrobbler updates your personal musical profile regularly, allowing you to see detailed listening statistics and explore personalized recommendations.

One of the best features of Audioscrobbler is the ability to make connections with others who share your musical tastes. The system automatically matches you with people who have similar preferences, providing you with a community of like-minded individuals to connect with.

To use Audioscrobbler, you'll need to make sure you have the necessary requirements installed on your system. This includes libmusicbrainz and libmusicbrainz-dev at or above version 2.0.0, as well as libcurl and libcurl-dev. Additionally, you'll need xmms-dev at or above version 1.2.4 for the XMMS plugin or bmp-dev at or above version 0.9.7rc2 for the BMP plugin.

Installation is a breeze. Simply untar the software, run ./configure (adding "--enable-prefer-ape" if desired), and follow up with make and make install. With Audioscrobbler, you can take control of your music listening habits and connect with others who share your interests.
