A method for media recommendations is provided, including storing, on a peer device, a pre-existing list of media presentations including a plurality of pre-existing media presentations. A plurality of media recommendations are received from a plurality of recommending peer devices in response to a media presentation being played. Each of the plurality of media recommendations comprises an identifier that identifies a recommended media presentation. Each recommended media presentation is automatically added to the list of media presentations in a position determined based user preferences to form an updated list of media presentations. Based on the position of each of the media presentations, a media presentation is selected to play on the peer device from the updated list of media presentations. The selected media presentation is then played on the peer device.

System and method for identifying music content in a P2P real time recommendation network

A peer-to-peer (P2P) network for providing real time media recommendations is provided. The media recommendations may be song recommendations or video recommendations. Each time a media presentation is played by a peer device, the peer device provides a recommendation identifying the media presentation to other peer devices in the P2P network. A peer device having received recommendations from the other peer devices in the P2P network then programmatically, or automatically, selects a next media presentation to play from the media presentations recently played by the other peer devices and one or more locally stored media presentations. If the selected media presentation is not stored locally by the peer device, the peer device may obtain the selected media presentation from a subscription based service enabling streaming or download of the selected media presentation, an e-commerce service enabling purchase and download of the selected media presentation, or another peer device.
