That throws a lot of uninteresting profiles at me - too far away with no musical crossover, closer with some random likes off my profile in common. In comparison with the normal search, it is better as I don't see the not visited for over a week profiles and there are genuinely interesting profiles further afield in Europe who might make for good meetups at festies.In the normal search I'd also like to see more sub-genre based selection. There is an amazing amount of bands out there and I keep finding more in sub-genres I like that I have never heard of. I like other genres of music to some extent but I don't necessarily think that one or two artists in that vein in your likes necessarily constitutes a match. Typing in a band name doesn't help much if the other person likes them but doesn't want to crowd out their tastes or just hasn't thought to include them. thanks @GreenWyvern for the valuable input! i'm sure the Tastebuds staff is listening and will take everything you shared into sincere consideration. your idea regarding including more sub-genre bands will make an even greater impact here: http://tastebuds.fm/topics/834-suggest-a-new-tastebuds-feature! I realised that - I've already posted :) you're a repeat offender @GreenWyvern. i don't want to see you back in this court again until after you've completed 100 hours of music community service. case closed. lol
