ExitAhead.co.uk - Search eBay For Your Last.fm Artists

Exitahead is a useful tool for last.fm users who wish to purchase albums on eBay. Instead of having to pick through eBay by entering in artist names and/or song titles one by one, Exitahead automatically finds music currently up for auction or sale on eBay that matches the artists in their last.fm profiles. Using Exitahead doesn’t require giving the site your eBay password or account info; simply tell them your last.fm user name, they check for the artists you’ve recently scrobbled, and then the service scans eBay for matching names. You can specify your search preference to include albums or vinyl or both, auctions or shops or Buy It Now items, and you can receive your search as an RSS feed. Alternately, if you’re scrapping for fresh ideas, you can check out search results from the latest last.fm users who have performed queries on Exitahead.

“We pick out any music currently on eBay matching the artists in your last.fm profile. That is the artists you have recently scrobbled, and the artists recommended by last.fm.
Bookmark your page, then come back any time you feel an urge to buy a bargain CD, or to pick up older works from artists you have recently discovered.”

Exitahead is an easy way for you to find and purchase music on eBay. The app is unique in that most similar services cater to iTunes users, but logically once in a while someone might want to purchase an album below retail price and would want to hunt for music on an auction site such as eBay.

Do Exitahead, last.fm, and/or eBay have a partnership that allows some or all of the sites to receive a cut of transaction profits? If not, why does Exitahead limit itself to only eBay searches? There are many other sites out there that let you purchase music at a reduced fare. It would be great if Exitahead could browse lots of such sites and bring you the best (and cheapest) results.
