Very interesting mis of automated and social tools for recommending music. The pattern matching stuff is quite cool, but I particularly like the social tagging which mines the Web for a multi-dimensional tag list (reminds me a bit of PHOAKS in this), rather than relying on potentially biased or misleading personal tags. They are also doing some interesting work on visualisation of the results. And it is open source. All in all, looks like a system that marries a great selection of technologies and research-informed ideas to produce something that might be really useful.
