As I reported earlier<\/a>, MusicMobs<\/a> is this potentially cool way for people to share preferences about music, but it didn’t work for me<\/a>. (Presumably my iTunes library was just too big for it to handle.)<\/p>\n

Those crazy people keep slogging away, however, and a new re-write of the system that takes people’s library info has recently gone live. My library<\/a> now loads successfully, and almost instantaneously – huuuzzaaaaah!<\/p>\n

There’s a great quote from the news item announcing the update:<\/p>\n

\nThere is a 20,000 song limit to processing, so if you have a super massive library export your top played 20k songs to get it to work.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have about 5,400 songs in my library at the office, so I’m well away from that. I suspect if we ripped every single CD we owned, we might get close to (or even slightly exceed) 20K songs, but that’s not going to happen any time soon, so I think I’m safe for a while :-).<\/p>\n

They also have a “Top Listeners” list on the front page<\/a>, and I’m not even close to making the top 200 or so that they list. The highest is over 135K listens, and the bottom of their top 200 list is over 22K songs listened to. I’m at a bit over 18K, and I’m guessing that the list is pretty dense between 18K and 22K. That really surprised me, as I listen at the office pretty much all day every day, which suggests that there must be people who’s iTunes history goes way<\/em> back without interruption, and who leave their computers playing music pretty close to 24\/7.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m quite glad that it works. Any system that can connect Charming Hostess<\/a> (and here<\/a>) with both The Science Group<\/a> and Bob Wills<\/a> is worth having in this world.<\/p>\n
