Last.fm/AS give either CSV file or XML file (examples:
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/artist/Metallica/similar.txt,
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/artist/Metallica/similar.xml) with
the data. Those files list how similar each artist is to the main one.
So all you'd have to do is filter out artists that the user doesn't
have, then select the top tracks for each artist (eg:
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/artist/Metallica/toptracks.xml),
filtering out missing tracks. You now have a list of similar tracks
the user has in rough order of populaity.
