I’ve recently signed up to a service called iLike. It adds a pane to iTunes and recommends artists dependent on what you’re currently listening to. The artists it offers have both free music and pay for music.
Not a bad service, but you do have to be willing to share a little bit of information, it uploads to the server every time you play a song and records it on your profile. Check it out at ilike.com.
According to the site, my top 20 artists are;
- Jason Mraz [431]
- Pink [270]
- Janet Jackson [268]
- Prince [265]
- Pet Shop Boys [260]
- Cyndi Lauper [237]
- Madonna [205]
- Texas [194]
- Scissor Sisters [190]
- Alanis Morissette [177]
- Christina Aguilera [158]
- Eurythmics [133]
- Jesse McCartney [132]
- Kylie Minogue [122]
- Sarah McLachlan [113]
- Dixie Chicks [101]
- Howie Day [96]
- ABBA [94]
- George Michael [91]
- Annie Lennox [89]
These stats are only since the last time I formatted my computer, and I’ve only recently started syncing my iPod in a way that records to plays from it back to the computer. So while they are not total and accurate, I’d have to say they are a fair indication of my musical taste.
Those that just missed out of the top 20 include, Deborah Gibson, Garbage, Nelly Furtado, Teddy Geiger.

Omg you’re gay! ;)
But I still love ya! I may have to have a look at that myself for my iTunes and iPod.
I took it to the gym today, and very quickly realised it was about time I updated my music.
jason mraz is chops!
howie day should be higher up though but nice list all the same. :)
Howie Day would be much higher if I sync my iPod properly, Stop all the World Now is probably one of the most played albums in my car. But Jason would still be number one. What I love the most is that I first heard about both artists through free music downloads from iTunes.
