I’m interested in selfhosting, if possible, an equivelant to last.fm – it would analyze the history of what I listen to, and provide me with recommendations, and listening history reports.
Aside, last.fm as a federated service would be quite interesting. It would be neat to add a federated social media aspect to it.
How would these recommendations be generated. Will you host for loads of people or just sit there with your single datapoint?
That’s a fair point that I had not considered – it’s a shortcoming in the premise of my inquiry. I wonder if it’s possible, if at all, to create any recommendation service that doesn’t compromise on user privacy. It may not be, as it would require a user’s history, which, given enough entries, can be used to identify them.
