Los Angeles - Soundflavor, a developer of digital music search and recommendation technologies, introduced on Wednesday a free companion application for Apple's iTunes that makes recommendations from a user's own music library -- and from outside music stores -- when they play a song or playlist. The company, which announced the news from Digital Media Wire's Digital Music Forum event in Los Angeles, cited a survey it commissioned by Insight Express that found nearly two-thirds of digital music listeners feel they have a lot of great music that they forget to play. San Francisco-based Soundflavor said its recommendations are based on more than six years of human analysis of hundreds of thousands of songs. The company plans to add support for Mac and Windows Media Player.
