Shelfari

My friend Rohit (who recently kicked off his own 50 book challenge) just introduced me to a nifty site called Shelfari. You can use the site to create a virtual book-shelf containing all of your books. Users can provide commentary and ratings on the books, find other users with similar tastes, and participate in discussion groups. The site is a little rough around the edges at the moment, but it looks like it's got a lot of potential. I found adding books one-by-one to be tedious (I only added 20 or so and gave up), and although you can import from a text file I don't see any easy way to just copy over the list of books you've marked as owned on Amazon. Also surprising is that there doesn't seem to be any way to see a list of recommended books based on what users with similar tastes own. I was able to find a few users with similar tastes to mine though, so I'm looking forward to digging in and seeing if I can find a few good recommendations.

Is there a virtual music shelf library like this anywhere? Seems like a no-brainer, especially since it would be easy to export your library directly from Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc.
