Music Discovery — How do we sift through all the noise? by Adam Wexler

There is an overwhelming amount of music available in the 21st Century, and the task of navigating all of the material will not become any easier. Many larger entities like Apple and Amazon are primarily concerned with their highest sellers so they give little precedence to the long tail material. Typically, the best resource for trusted & thorough music recommendations comes from your own network of friends. Yet, with the power of Web 2.0 and by leveraging the collective intelligence of music opinions, we can find others with music interests that more closely resemble our own taste & preferences.
