Here are a couple of sites that I just launched for Division Promotions.
They are for two sister companies, Spin Music and Spin TV, who work with clients such as Amy Winehouse, The Sugababes, Coca Cola, Channel 4 and various others.

The basic jist of it is that you install a plugin for your media player that sends the tracks you play on it to a central database and you can then see what has been listened to on your profile page.

Anyway, check out my profile here and see below for my latest tracks.
