Tuneglue: Mashup for Similar Music
I just ran across TuneGlue, a Flash-based mashup for finding similar music via Last.fm and Amazon (UK) APIs. You give the tool an artist name and it generates a cool web-like structure linking together artist names. You can expand the web by finding similar artists to the similar artists, and it will interlink any of the existing artist bubbles that appear. It also integrates with the Amazon API, allowing you to browse any artists albums and tracklists from Amazon. It reminds me of the digg swarm Flash visualization tool for digg.

Microsoft Zune Will Come With Some Content
According to the Microsoft Zune blog, the Zune (Microsoft’s new iPod competitor) will come packaged with “some content” preloaded on it. Way to really go public with that information and not tease the public and build hype, Microsoft.
The Zune doesn’t have a release date scheduled yet, but some seem to think that it’ll be sometime in 2007. The Zune is also supposed to work with Microsoft’s URGE music service, and I’ve heard it’s pretty nice, though I have not actually used it.
