I think this is an interesting idea. I definitely agree with other comments here. Open it up to let users import data from Last.fm or other apps that are recording their listening trends.

#33Great idea--solves a practical problem (albeit not one that I have). On a different note: do you care how people pronounce your name? My first thought was "Muspy", almost rhymes with "Musky". My second thought (upon seeing the logo) was "Oh! Mus- is from music. And -py is from ... Python?" So now I'm thinking about pronouncing it "Muse-py"--as in how you'd pronounce a Python module.
I have to admit we need to re-work the logo. Others suggested that it reads "Musty"
The name comes from MUsic and SPY.

We are definitely going to add Last.fm import.
