Chris, you need last.fm. Here’s the premise.
- Listen to stuff (using winamp, itunes, WMP or whatever). Last.fm watches what you’re listening to and builds a profile
- last.fm finds people like you
- It then plays back a radio station with songs plucked from the lists that *they* listen to.

It’s an interesting blend of the convergence you get with Amazon style recommendations but with the serendipitous randomness of human behaviour layered on top.

They’ve recently added tagging. And you can listen to a radio station based on random selections from music with a particular tag. If you like DJ Shadow, check out the Chillosophy Tag. http://www.last.fm/tag/Chillosophy
