MediaUnbound a company that provides software application to help provide music recommendation through use of different techniques. Company clients includes Napster, Rhapsody, and others. Unlike other recommendation Mediabound utilizes music analyst or human along with technology to make recommendations. Recommendations in Rhapsody or URGE is made more on the human side where computer can't analyze such as mood and tastes. This site mainly explore the company and it's technology and product.

Upong stumbling upong the company I had some questions about the company so emailed a contact at MediaUnbound. Turns out the CEO responded. MediaUnbound is a combination of content and collaborative filtering recommender system. It analyzes personal preference to make accurate and interesting recommendations.
