Gave it a shot. Put in 3 musicians/groups I love. I got 11 suggestions, I knew 7 of them already. Out of all the suggestion only one of them had any kind embedded media (Youtube) sample, that's it, no links or anything else for the other ones. I'll give it a shot with more main stream bands and see if that changes, could just be the genre/groups I chose.

Pretty neat and on point as far as the suggestions I did recognize though. Wish there at least a basic outgoing link for each suggestion

In a few seconds you got 4 new music recommendations? I gotta try this.
It told me I'd like the music of Women: http://www.gnoosic.com/artist/women

I don't know what to do with this information

Look them up on Discogs.com for more info. I typically preview bands I find from my own sources using Youtube, soundcloud and bandcamp.

Also Women formed another band called Viet Cong, and then after getting rolling had some pushback on the name, changed their name to Preconceptions. Great band, saw them live at Desert Daze last year.

Also one of the band members recently tweeted something about wanting to hear more Women so they might be reforming.

Jokes on you, Women is a really awesome band, greatly respected and missed by those in the know.
Wow, nice job. Women is one of my favorite bands.

I randomly get these weird urges to build playlists around certain bands or songs, so this sort of service helps a lot. The others I use, which take way more work, are last.fm, rate your music and Pandora.

This is especially vague combined with the Facebook ad: ‘Start reacting today. Connect to the world’.

Listening to the music of: women. Sounds like I’m starting at the very basics.

A link to wiki wouldn't hurt here
Would you say the 7 you already knew are similar to the 3 you entered?
