Ask HN: Rate my start-up - muZixs

Not a bad idea, but i think the direction you are going will be a challenge. Having people select certain artists/tracks, and then trying to match them with other users of the same taste is quite a bit different than saying to a person 'what sort of music are you into?'.
However, check out the last.fm or pandora api's. That might be a better way to go as you can match against an already existing dataset and a wide range of users.
Best of luck.

Great idea about the API's - thanks
It's a dating site for the 'we're really into our music' niche. The idea comes from that uncomfortable, first time chat with someone that you maybe meet at the bus stop, in the queue at the supermarket or maybe on a poorly planned blind date. The conversation often seems to go something like 'hey, so what sort of music are you into? Then you find you have the same tastes and wow... it's all good.
If you like this, we'll build it.
