thanks Toby. this will get me (or anyone interested) started, but w/o real large-scale data it's hard to evaluate what you've done. > I would be willing (no, eager) to opt into making my data available to > researchers (or anyone for that matter). my guess is that Mike is not alone. if we make completely anonymous user data public, we enable any 3rd party to create a recommendation system. i think this would really add more libre to libre.fm. i appreciate in light of recent events people are wary of this sort of idea. but there really are ways to make the data nearly impossible to trace back to the users. -kurt j _______________________________________________ Libre-fm mailing list [email protected] http://lists.autonomo.us/mailman/listinfo/libre-fm
