Amazon, Watch them and Buy Them

Here is an interesting site http://www.audioscrobbler.com/

They put a plugging on your PC and track your music habits. This is rather amazing. As soon as they have critical mass they should be integrated directly into Amazon.com. Amazon.com will be able to predict best sellers and losers, manage shopping trends and best of all Amazon.com will be able to make intelligent recommendations for music purchases.

If Apple are serious about their iTunes business (which they seem to be as iTunes is now the number 1 seller of digital music) they should probably rush to buy this before Amazon.com. Think about it a box could popup in your iTunes player as you are listening telling you what else you would enjoy....

I am rather surprised this is isn't built in to iTunes, after all iTunes does create a statistic on your PC and is connected to the Net for the Store function and for software upgrade.......
