Rate Your Music
Encyclopedia : R : RA : RAT : Rate Your Music
Rate Your Music is a metadata database where musical albums, EPs, singles, videos and bootlegs are rated and reviewed by users. This data is then used to generate music recommendations for users and to create rated lists of music albums. Weighted averages are used to calculate the ordering for these lists; regular members who write reviews and rate more albums have a greater weight applied to their ratings.
Members can also create personal lists of albums and artists to their specifications, keep track of their personal collection of music, help to maintain the music database of artists and albums, converse on the message boards, contribute to the site's production and expansion and recommend music to other members.
The site is free to use, and the creator of rateyourmusic.com is committed to keeping the site completely free of banner ads and affiliate links.
Rate Your Music was founded on Christmas Eve 2000 by Seattle resident Hossein Sharifi.
