Does anybody esle find the amazon.com recommendations to be quite a nice/useful feature? I've never bought anything from them, so I feel kinda bad for just using their services (but i ain't got a credit card, so what can I do?) :) Of course it ocassionally throws up some junk like The Chemical Brothers or Garbage, but the fact that you can click "not interested" means it shouldn't come up again, and I guess it works on refining your musical taste a bit more. Actually if it weren't for amazon, I wouldn't've discovered progressive rock band Pocupine Tree, and I always love some prog rock as a break from 'IDM' ;) It's less annoying than Pandora and Last.fm in my opinion as well. Thoughts? |

"I've never bought anything from them, so I feel kinda bad for just using their services" > don't feel too bad, i don't think they're needy. i personally don't use them, besides i am too lazy to quote and rate every album i have... and sometimes i'd look at some album's page which i am not interested into at all for some reason, and that would modify my recommendations etc. a site i look at very often for sound samples and "highlights of the week" without buying anything from them is . i'd buy stuff from them but it seems like shipping is $18... : / |

It works OK but where they've got multiple version of an item in their system it doesn't take that into account. Also, it recommends me items I've bought from them. That annoys me. With a bit of refining it could work a treat. Although buying a book on zombies and being offered Nina Hartleys Guide to Anal Sex did make me laugh. |

haha :D uzim, you're right, it is a pain, but luckily i don't have that many albums :) still, its quality, not quantity right? besides, if i buy more than 3 at a time, i feel like i never 'get to know' them properly. but i'll check out aquarius for sure! thanks |

oh, and about visiting other random pages.... the other day some person with bad, lame-ass music taste from work suggested a punk album to me! :-/ i looked it up, but because I don't 'own it' and didn't 'rate it', i don't think it takes it into account. it only shows up in the 'page you made'. the multiple release thingy that giginger mentioned is a problem though, maybe i should give them feedback about it. |

they're handy lists, but then so are the ones pertaining to "best albums to listen to while vandalising your local mace" |

i dont buy their much for the last few years. ive never really used the recommendation feature on purpose, but it often recommends me stuff I have already got from other shops based on the stuff i bought from them , so i guess it works well. |
