It'd be nice if a music service came out that didn't revolve around introducing you to new music or alerting you to what your friends are listening to. Or one that realizes the music you might like could be based on more than other bands you and/or your friends are already into (would any of these services assume that a Metallica fan might also dig Katy Perry?). There's a limit to how much stuff Facebook needs tacked onto it. And how many "hubs" for media already exist? At what point does this start looking like putting the VCR inside the TV set?

And not everything gets to become FarmVille.

How would you like it to base what you like on besides your past/current interests (e.g. related artists to the ones you listen to)? Just curious.
Such recommendations are already in existence. Pandora is one example. Itunes Genius is another.
