I just saw this on Slashdot [http://www.slashdot.org] and thought the SF community might dig it.


Indy: Auto-Discover Free Music to Download Music
Posted by timothy on Wednesday April 20, @02:30PM
from the no-pirates-here dept.
Luyi Chen writes "Indy is a free p2p music download system, which is a new way for independent musicians to find their listerners. From Buzzsonic News, "Indy uses collaborative filtering, a system similar to that used by Amazon to recommend books, etc, to prospective buyers, to learn about your musical preferences in relation to other Indy users." The author of Indy is also the creator of the Open Source P2P platforms Freenet." (That would be Ian Clarke.)



The site is http://www.indy.tv, and it looks like you can even submit your own music but I don't know for sure because a billion slashdot nerds are crashing the indy.tv server right now.

Looks great from the site. Can't get to the submit page but this model is exactly right for this type of process (listen, rate, listen more, rate more, listen to more like what I've rated good...).
