If anyone knows of such an app I’d really appreciate it. I have all of Mozart but I might as well be looking into a field.

It’s got a plug-in for iTunes that monitors everything you listen to and records it to your account (you’ll need one on the site).

It then auto-associates your selections along similar artists and users, a la Flickr. It’s free and it’s got a streaming capability for your (editable) profile that will stream either a set comprised of your past selections or one based on your listening profile which will expose you to stuff that others in your auto group are listening to.

This is how I combined my GF’s library and my own into one.

*Note if the drive is removed, iTunes is NOT smart enough to mark witch songs are moved..it will mark them only if it tries to find one and it is not there.
