ilike.com
ilike.com is a site that lets you share music with everybody else signed up with it. How it works is the site , when you begin to sign up, will give you lists of artists/bands with a button beside each one asking if you like that particular artist/band. After about 9 pages with around 30 artists on each page, you will have created a profile. Within this profile are all of the choices you said you liked. The site will automatically search for other people with similar tastes in music.
Since the original list of artists/bands doesn’t have every single group that creates music, there is a search box where you can search for anybody you want. For example, Keith Urban wasn’t on the original list, so I made a search for him, and found him. I think they do this because I don’t think you, the individual, are going to want to sit in front of your computer for an hour clicking off every single artist you like out of thousands of choices. It will also let you listen to parts of the artists songs.
One of its best qualities is that if you have itunes downloaded, then you can download a toolbar from ilike to itunes. This toolbar will take all of your songs from itunes, and put them onto your profile. Ilike will also search for other users with the same taste in music as you. Not only will it do that, but it will give you suggestions on what other types of music you might like. Because it takes the songs information from your computer, it will also figure out how many times you have listened to each song. This also shows on the artist’s profile; who has listened to their songs the most.
This is a great way for people to share their music with others and find people with similar tastes in music. I can’t imagine any problems that could arise from this type of website. What is good about this site is the amount of people on it, and the variety of different music. For some people that have tastes in music that may not be as popular as others, they can finally find other people with the same tastes. That sometimes happens with me personally (Keith Urban). And because of this site, I’ve found a bunch of “Urbanites” so to speak.
This site is suitable for all ages and I encourage everybody to at least check it out. Who knows, you might find some new music that you like that you never would have thought about listening to before.
