I've been using AudioScrobbler for a little while. It's a collaborative filtering system for music. A plugin in your audio player of choice reports your listening habits to the server, and from that data it can find other users who are similar to you.

I haven't been using it long enough for the collaborative filtering to kick in (I suspect that the 500 song threshold is a little high). However, I've already discovered a cool side-effect of using it: I now have a page that I can point people to which shows what I listen to. Indeed, I'm finding the data quite interesting myself. Perhaps I should set up a separate logging system on my own machine so that I could do my own analysis.
