Hello

Is there a facility anywhere on the Internet which enables the user to identify all compilation albums which a particular song appears on? Obviously it is easy to identify all tracks on a particular compilation, but I am curious as to whether there is a tool which enables me to ‘invert’ this task.

In addition, is there a facility which, if I name a particular song or album by a particular artist, brings up a list of similar songs/albums? I know that on Amazon, if you call up a particular album on the site, it produces a list of albums purchased by people who have also bought that named album, and I’m curious if one (or more) websites have a similar tool.

Many thanks in anticipation.

there used to be a book - "tracks List" - try googling that or something similar - it listed a title, then the albums it was on.

Re: the second question, I use www.last.fm - searching for an artist will give a list of other artists that fans of that artist in question listen to. You can also sometimes find info about compilations, etc on there - it's not a definitive guide, but searching for a song will often tell you all of the albums it appears on.

Another good site for finding similar artists/songs is pandorafm.real-ity.com - it's an online radio, you have to register I think, but you can type in a song or artist you like & it will play similar ones.
