According to AllThingsD the new app “suggests artists and tracks to users based on a number of personalized signals, including the Twitter accounts a user follows on the microblogging service.”

Well that's not going to work for me - I don't bother with Twitter for the bands I like since most of them don't use it. And I'm kind of wearing off twitter anyway - too much junk these days.

In other online music news today it has been announced that Rockstar Games has taken the music from GTA IV, San Andreas, Vice City, GTA III, Liberty and Vice City Stories, and Chinatown Wars and created streaming radio channels for Spotify and iTunes users to enjoy.

That reminds me of the only PC version of GTA I tried - that had the ability to dump files (MP3's I think) and get your own radio station choice. Always thought that this was a good feature and one I'd like to have seen in some other games.

I saw that about the GTA radio stations earlier, shame we won't be getting the DJs and caller-inners as well, they were pretty funny...

"Guys, guys, guys. We really need to make some money, we've not made any money yet but spent millions"

"hmm, how about pictures people can post pictures, with the exact same filters, so they can show their creativity and uniqueness"

"no, no, no, Spotify have almost made money how about we do that!"

Honestly I've no idea what their brainstorming sessions are like.
