Search Inside the Music
Sun Microsystems is developing a search engine which compares the acoustic similarites of millions of songs (not unlike the Musical Genome Project).
From the article:"The result is a striking visualization that not only shows which specific songs are similar to other songs of the same genre, but that also illustrates the degree of acoustic similarity between songs of different genres."
Pandora is an internet radio station along similar lines, which uses the Musical Genome Project to generate a playlist based on your tastes. You can guide it by voting for or against songs that it suggests.
