A new social music tracking site has launched today, named iLike which is in beta of course, got to have that fashionable beta sign!

It looks very nice, but it has limitations, namely that you’re limited to using iTunes for submitting your music and it isn’t Linux compatible. It’s early days, and no doubt it will improve (they say for example that in the future you can use other music players with the site), but for now there’s not much to attract me.

Personally, I’ll be sticking with last.fm (which, incidentally, has some nice new features coming in the next week or so, the best of which is a music events tracking and recommendation system). For the moment, last.fm has far more functionality and doesn’t tie you down to a particular player or OS, which is definately a good thing.
