MixTape.me | make and listen to mixtapes (music playlists)
Similar to Seeqpod, Mixtape.me "grabs music from around the web, notably from Seeqpod, and does a great job of letting you make and browse playlists in an environment reminiscent of desktop music players.
You don't need an account to create a Quick Playlist on mixtape.me. You can just start adding tracks from searches and other people's playlists. Registering an account lets you add (but not upload) mp3s and save your playlists. There are also a lot of extra touches, like grabbing song info, lyrics and album artwork automatically. You can also share your playlists easily, even with friends who aren't signed up with Mixtape.me." [downloadsquad]

Yahoo! Music Research | Discovering Web Music using Signal Analysis
These recommendations were created by analyzing the audio signal of each track in our collection. No metadata or ratings information was used in this analysis. We looked at playlists from the 500 most popular playlist authors at Webjay and analyzed over 25000 audio tracks using MARSYAS, an open source software framework for audio processing.
For each track, we downsampled the audio signal and converted a 30 second chunk into 24 different audio features.
Recommendations are based upon a "source track", which is the first track which appears in the playlist. The tracks that follow it are the closest vectors in the audio feature space.
