its kind of obvious, the similarity is based on measurable acoustic criteria of course it does not recognize a musical genre, metatags or social classifications. sure, its kind of dumb to build a whole service around merely technical data without combining it with other strategies.

Complete fail. I’m not so much disappointed in this Mufin service as I am in TechCrunch’s review. I always thought this blog told it straight. Did they actually use this service? How can everyone else here have a 90% fail rate on matching songs and TC get such good results?

I tried Jonathan Coulton’s Code Monkey: no matches. Then Owner of a Lonely Heart: first three matches were the same song off other compilation albums. Finally, clicked the link for NIN’s Closer and saw the top match: Britney Spears’ Oops.

I haven’t been this disappointed in a new product since Cuil launched.

Yeah, I had a pretty bad experience with Mufin as well (disclosure: I am co-founder of the MixZing music discovery solution). I just have a fundamental problem with these technical affinity approaches. As others have said, how can you really capture context and mood by looking at melodies, beats, etc.?

We take the collaborative filtering approach at MixZing, using tons of real user playlists as input, and the recommendations we give are specific to a given playlist, since otherwise they’d have no context. Check out our iTunes plug-in if you’re interested (sorry, that’s my shameless plug-in plug).
