this isn't the hype machine - its just a very simple way to enjoy some new music with no bells and whistles or distractions.

one important part of discovering new music is discovering new trusted sources. that'll build trust between you app and your users, and i'm sure the folks whose keen insights you're scraping would appreciate it.

fumar suggested guest playlists - it might be a good way to get bloggers/tastemakers to participate while keeping it simple.

Yeah, I love music and the whole art behind finding new music and enjoying something unique. I like when artists release their "influential tracks/songs." It gives me some new ground to explore.

I will use this Royksopp as an example. I liked "Melody AM", their first album. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody_A.M. It was chill and atmospheric. When they released "Back to Mine," a compilation of their favorite tracks. I understood "Melody AM" much better. http://www.discogs.com/R%C3%B6yksopp-Back-To-Mine/master/294...

Sure, but how is the music picked?

Attribution is not a distraction.
