I'm really surprised that my musical compatibility with nearly everyone in the group is either low or very low -- even when we seem to have a lot of the same artists in our libraries.

I just wiped out all my plays in iTunes, so I guess this isn't valid, but currently, we have a high compatibility.

I know for mine it's because I have a lot of non country artists. I have high compatibility with one person in the group, I forget who it was though...

The last time I checked, you hadn't played enough music for it to calculate the compatibility, but now that you've played more, it is high.

I think many of us listen to so much music, from so many different artists and genres (and even just within "country" itself, which does encompasses a lot of sub-styles), that even what looks like a substantial list of shared artists represents only a drop in the bucket for each person's library. I know I have nearly 800 artists in my iTunes library, although that does include duets.

I must say, some of you have much cooler musical taste than me, and have dug much further into non-mainstream, indie, and less-accessible types of music than I have previously been able to; I am looking forward to using this group to discover some new music.

Also, I want to apologize ahead of time if any showtunes or Disney soundtracks pop up; those will probably be from me! Also, I've been downloading songs on recommendation from my students, so...

Wow. I thought I had a huge library but I only have 124 artists. But I have a lot of songs by the artists that I do like. How many songs are in your library?

[Razor X]

Hmm I couldn't fin you, does your profile work?

Sorry, I misspelled it

Its induldgecountry -- like my name here w/ out the 'd' and 'music'

Did you join The 9513 group there as well? Because I don't see you there.

[Chris D]

I have 1756 songs, 199 artists, and 212 albums. (1234 songs are country)

How do you get last fm to automatically scrobble? Mine won't; I have to manually go to the diagnostics screen...

Over 7000 songs from 16 genres. My disposable income goes straight into CDs, DVDs, and iTunes gift cards. ( I just bought "That Lonesome Song" today. Whoo!) I prefer to buy physical CDs from my favorite artists and download other stuff on a song by song basis. I'll never buy a Britney Spears CD, for example, but I'll download "Toxic."

But I admit to having a lot of crap. I have most of the music (though not all) from my top five or so favorite artists. But I also have nearly every CD I ever bought/was given as a gift/borrowed from my sister on my computer.

I'm an anal retentive completist - I ripped every CD I could find in the house to my computer, found the correct album information and artwork for it (including scanning the really obscure stuff - like my second cousin's self-released folk album), and bought an external hard drive to hold it all. I obsessively burn all my downloaded music to CD as well (I learned the hard way about backing up computer files), and print out a "CD cover" with a photo montage of the albums and a track listing.

There's a lot of stuff on my computer I rarely listen to. for example, I got Billy Gilman's debut CD for my 14th birthday. Do I still listen to it? No. Is it on my computer? Yes.

Last year I went on a three month mission to listen to each song I owned at least once. So that all got scrobbled.

Cool, I would've thought I'd be the only one to put Country music + Britney Spears together

Have you guys heard Nickel Creek's cover of "Toxic"? It's great, it's on youtube:

Yup, I just wish there existed a nice clear MP3 of that song that I could put on my ipod. I love the way they mimic the synthypop sound of the song on their instruments.

[indulgedcountrymusic]

I listened to a little of it -- it was eh, ok

Yael Naim has the worst cover of "Toxic", she turns it into some creepy piano ballad

Yeah, I just heard that one, I thought it was kind of boring...

I finally hit the 2,000 plays mark with Johnny Cash's "Who at My Door Is Standing."

I'm over 10,000 plays already after only one week.
