Searching for my favorite band Circulatory System brought up Atlas Sound. Sounds great, so far. I'm impressed. Circulatory System's Joy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_jidcdzXuU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_jidcdzXuU Atlas Sound's Walkabout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_jidcdzXuU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_jidcdzXuU Searching for one of my favorite composers, James Tenney, brought up Douglas Ewart Quintet. Interesting association. James Tenney's Spectral Canon for Conlon Nancarrow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqWRoi8OTCo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqWRoi8OTCo Douglas Ewart Quintet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH_3ALijVcY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH_3ALijVcY I highly recommend listening to the James Tenney and Circulatory System.

This is amazing. I love music, I love finding new music, and I use youtube a lot for it. Now there's an actual tool!

Brilliant, I'm quite impressed with this. Not only can you find related music you can also quickly find an artist's videos. It doesn't work as well for up and coming artists, does anyone know what database it plugs into? It doesn't look like its Vevo only as I'm seeing it work with Warner Music Group artists.

There need to be more "find things like this" buttons in the world. I love Pandora for being able to find related works very quickly, but I hate the lack of real ability to explore. This seems to be a nice mix. Why don't more sites leverage the "if you liked X, you'll love Y" data that gets generated by millions of clicks?

An amazing way to discover crap videos with reencoded sound. Sorry but Youtube hurts music on a daily basis.

  The official music videos are usually pretty good, HD video, clear sound.

    I don't think AAC and MPEG4 were designed to be applied twice. It could be better if Youtube would ask for a given format and not re-encode both video and sound systematically. The situation for sound is particularly bad, and people deal with it by mastering "for Youtube" (ie: no basses).

Awesome. I think it could kill lots of the smaller 'music discovery sites' out there.
