“Through the ‘other members like’ listings [in Napster], it’s possible to discover a lot of new music. I moved from My Morning Jacket to Luna to Cat Power – a new discovery that I quickly bought into for ninety-nine cents per song.”
— Rolling Stone

“We appreciated the fact that [Napster UK]’s ‘Other members liked...’ feature reflects UK music tastes.”
— Music Ally
“[W]hile Amazon recommend- ations might remind users about a favorite song not heard recently, they did not help users expand their tastes in new directions... Users in our study thought that MediaUnbound was a more useful system than Amazon because it introduced them to new items they liked and thereby allowed them to broaden their musical tastes.”
