So, after three years of using Audioscrobbler, I decided (and acted) on a whim to reset my stats on my account at last.fm. It kind of hurts to see all that “work” go away, but it was to the point that it wasn’t moving fast enough for me (I check it a lot), and now that I have my music ratings and taggings in a better place than before, I felt it will be much more accurate than in the past. My biggest pet peeve, which Last.fm can’t really help much, is how artists with more songs recorded get higher rankings than artists who have fewer songs in existance but are more favored. Hopefully with the right ranking system and party shuffle, things should even out.

I was presently surprised to see at least 3 users in my “neighbours” list who used to be there before, when I had 20+ thousand songs in my profile; a fine testament to the last.fm system and algorithms.
