Million-song dataset: take it, it’s free

The newly-released dataset will inevitably lead to some fascinating research. Incidentally, the Ars post mentions that Pandora uses trained musicologists to recommend music based on your preferences and habits. I wonder how Apple produces Genius results.

Anyway, Google Music is on the horizon, and being an algorithm-savvy bunch, I’d assume they would be quick to jump at the chance to layer an algorithm on top of their new service.
