that's for sure.

Based on my quick test, I will say that at the beginning it is important
to have an high degree of accuracy, even because sometimes results are
quite surprising (have a look at my test results)

QWhat I'm thinking is to create a db table that assign for each song a
number like in Kademlia network in order to show how much nodes are far
from me (10000000000011110000000000111110000000001111)... It's just an
idea...
Other 2€ cents...

enjoy, ;)
