How I did it: I installed the iScrobbler plugin with iTunes and started submitting all of songs that I listen to to last.fm. About every month or two I'll listen to recommendations and I'll usually find things that I buy.

Lessons & tips: When you are listening on last.fm or with the application or one of the plugins, make sure that you mark tracks that you love and skip tracks that you don't like

Resources:

• The iScrobbler plugin for iTunes submits songs that are played, so the data builds up automatically and the more you listen, the more accurate the recommendations become.

• The last.fm iPod Touch / iPhone application is a great way to lisen to and discover new music as well.
