[gentoo-user] OT: Anybody know of a 'Genius' type service or site for TV shows/Movies/Music that is not owned by Apple?
By 'Genius' type service, I'm referring to Apple's Genius service that helps you find new music that you might like based on your current likes... ie, you tell it the Artists/songs you like, and it tells you things that are similar. It is a very interesting way to find new music/artists that you otherwise may never find out about, and I'm hoping to find a service (paid or free) that does the same thing for TV, movies, online video content. Thanks...

For music have a look at last.fm[1]. You can enter Artists manually or 'scrobble' what you hear to their website. last.fm then keeps track of what you hear and generates suggestions on what you might like. Lots of media players today support last.fm's 'scrobble' feature. For movies and series you might try trakt[2]. It basically works the same like last.fm and also integrates great with my media center pc (based on XBMC). [1] http://last.fm [2] http://trakt.tv/

For music you might also try a service called Hypertree where you listen to some songs and vote on your favorite. Then it keeps track of your tastes etc and goes from there. It's different, but can be nice. Last.fm can play a recommendations radio based on your personal scrobbles and also has a nice Mix radio, although these might require a subscription depending on where you live. Damn those music licensing fees. There are all sorts of ways to scrobble into the last.fm database, including their free desktop program, XBMC, and even greasemonkey scripts for submitting youtube videos. You could of course write your own. Alecks Gates, sent from Android on an HTC G2

It is a pity that this does not seem to support any of the 'standard' Linux video players - Xine, mplayer, or vlc.
