First Last.FM evaluation

Simply put, matching is crappy; any kind of matching.
For starters, there is no (fuzzy) matching of artists played: 'Gilbert & Sullivan' and 'Gilbert and Sullivan' are two completely distinct artists, with each having their own info page and scrobble count.
Further, my 'Tast-o-meter' with Litrik evolved from the obvious Very Low (no artists in common), to Low (Hans Zimmer in common), to Medium (Hans Zimmer, Bear McCreary and some other film music composers), to Very Low (no artists in common). And that while both Litrik's and my top 3 of the week contain Hans Zimmer.
Also, after more than 300 songs played, Last.FM has finally dignified itself with providing me with neighbours; the first of which having the compatibility rating 'Very Low' (Gregorian in common), the second having the same rating with an otherwise unspecified 'few artists' in common, and all the rest having no artists in common. Litrik, previously with Medium compatibility, is not in the list.


I'll continue to scrobble songs, hoping the law of large numbers will ensure more reliable results. Given the amount of music in my collection, this will take some time though.
