  Step 1:  Train Your Player

Open a Report
One of the best functions offered in 5.0 is not immediately available to you. The personal recommendation feature does not know what kind of music you like until you tell it. This is done pretty easily.
  Step 2:  Select Your Favorite Tracks

Open a Report
The player can only recommend songs based on your input, so first you should close the Net Music window and pick 5 of your favorite songs in your library. When you play them to completion, this will then register at Music Match's server and start the process.
  Step 3:  Wait for the Cycle to Complete

After the playing of your songs, you can open up the Net Music window to get some suggestions on other types of music based on other listeners profiles and what is on their hard drives.
  Step 4:  Start Being Amazed

Open a Report
Click on the "Net Music" button to launch the net music window. It will show you a screen with the top albums for you. Most are simply the albums from where the track you just played came from. But look further and you will see some other albums from people who listen to the same type of music as you do. This will become an addictive service and the songs recommended to you will change based on the tracks you play.
