What more telling moment in a new dating relationship than perusing your new friends music collection? With me it used to be flipping through boxes of LPs. Having compatible tastes in music portends compatibility. The WIreless Cu-Pod saves your iPod contents in memory and passively searches the contents
of any iPod within 30 feet, sending you a signal when it finds a number of matches that you designate, along with the location of the iPod (e.g., 18ft 6 in NNE).
What happens next is up to you.
iTunes music library flirting

Provided you could put your own iPod in "Not right now, thanks... I've just come out of a five-and-a-half year relationship, and I just don't think I'm ready yet" mode. |
|

we did this music compatibility thing way back in the mists of time when your email address worked. |

It's true you can't browse someone's iPod in the same sneaky way while they fix you a coffee. On the other hand, when this is baked it means I'll have to go through and rationalize - can I set profiles? I want one with all my classical stuff on (for when I want to seem really deep and cultural), and one with the Ukrainian Kazoo Polka left in... for...when... hmmm. Stupid profile. |
|
| |
Yeah, so many people just load up on garbage in their ipods, too, so that libraries aren't an exact indicator of musical tastes... However, if your ipod could detect their "current favorites" you could figure out if they've been in a classical, Alice in Chains, Pink Floyd, or Ukrainian Kazoo Polka mood. amongst others... So, [moom], what do you think about Shoom 3? |

I always did this with people's book collections. In a heartbeat I knew if it was someone I could respect, and relate to. Even if the books were of a different genre then what I enjoy, if they were meant for intelligient and mind provoking exercise, I would certainly second date em. |

+ For the idea. Findng common ground is essential, I believe, and a leg up on sustaining a successful relationship. |
|
| |
[bliss], I've never met a woman interested in my book collection. Its nothing, really. Just alot of quantum mechanics, Neitzche, and Carlos Castaneda. and The Alchemist. Still, just stares... Where are the likes of you! |
|
| |
Am reading The Alchemist presently. That's rather eerie. But if you don't have a copy of Atlas Shrugged, that isn't all crackly, and pages dangling off, we still might not be a match. |
|
| |
As for music, I would probably attract a whole pleuthera of males, I can go from classic, to reggae, to bluegrass, and then to r&b, in the blink of an eye.
(Sees a vision of a man in a tuxedo, smoking a log, whilst plucking a banjo, singing, "just a little bit", following me down the street. ) |

I've heard of people baking this, but not with the iPod itself -- with the "sharing" feature of iTunes, while connected to a public WiFi hotspot. Because iTunes uses Apple's Rendezvous to automatically detect other copies on a local subnet, it apparently works great. |
|
| |
daruma honey, are you missing penalties somewhere? please come back & respond to all these questions... mine in particular. |
|
| |
blissy and I are waiting <drums fingers> |

Following-"creepy mysterious semi-romantic", or following-"paid musician"? |

Nope, haven't read the book. Heard a lot about it, but seem to get perpetually sidetracked from recommended books. Its like I have a demon in my brain that has absolute power over what I read. I kinda like his choices though, so we get along. But, hey, [bliss], I always listen to whatever the first person says to me in the morning, and whatever the last person says at night. Needless to say, this syndrome grants women who sleep with me enormous amounts of power, especially over what I read. ;) |

audioscrobbler already does this in a
way : it posts details of your listening to
the internet and then performs matches
with other people, by virtue of your
music tastes. |
|
| |
Sure, it's not a wireless ipod, but the net
result is similar. |
|
| |
Bliss. Po. Anyone else. The email on my HB account still works. Email me and just make the subject line something other than an ad for pharmaceuticals or your XXX webcam and my spam filter should let it through... |
