Indy: Simple Free Music Discovery
Indy is an extremely simple yet very cool app created by peer-to-peer software pioneer Ian Clarke. Ian is the creator of the Freenet open source peer-to-peer platform, as well as Dijjer, a free peer-to-peer app designed to reduce the bandwidth needs of sharing large files.
Indy uses a collaborative filtering system to learn about your musical preferences in relation to other Indy users.
If you are an artist and want to get heard, consider submitting your music to Indy.
Why I blog this? The software is small, easy, and simple. And, it appears to work fairly well. I have had it running for a few minutes and have already heard some interesting new tracks. It is only at build 5, so I am looking forward to future releases.
