Tech / tunes links
*The Internet iTunes Registry lets users upload data about their music libraries, then slice and dice the numbers. Looks cool EXCEPT I wish it had shiny, colorful charts and graphs. Also, it seems like the future of music data collection will be increasingly context specific (which songs are more likely to be played after which others, geotagging to see where they are played, etc.) A strict library crunch is cool for now, though.

*hypebot lists the top ten filesharing applications (by installation, not traffic): Limewire is on top with more than 18%. (With fantastic toilet-full-of-money image.)
*Engadget’s Peter Rojas and Downtown Records are starting an online-only record label. RCRD LBL starts out with Gnarls Barkley and The Cold War Kids in the fold. Watch for a Steve Jobs announcement that the forthcoming Gnarls Barkley album blows at the next Mac World.
*Soundcrank is an iTunes plug-in that does the usual peer recommendation stuff, though they also feature wiki aspects in areas such as artist profiles. Being the idiot that I am, I signed up to give it a try, but there’s no Mac version yet. [via]
*Mosoto Remix is a Facebook widget that allows users to upload their music and share it with others via their Facebook profile page. You can also use the main page to track what friends are listening to. [via Mashable, but TechCrunch says the application is a legal/piracy mess waiting to happen.]
