I think this is a really neat idea. I actually know one artist (diplo I think) has started a second SC account just for retweeting stuff he recommends. I have a couple of accounts and am quite particular about the music I favourite (has to be stuff that my followers would also like e.g. No rock music on my EDM account and vice versa). I'm not sure everyone is like this though so it might be difficult to find accounts of artists who favourite music their fans would also like. It leaves an opportunity for you to do some sort of curation of artists with a good history of favouriting.

Edit:

Is the site open source?

Yes it's Diplo. Although souncloud.com/stream page and reposts[1] work quite good for my needs already.

Diplo has second account for reposts[2][3] only.

I personally prefer a curated approach, like blip.fm[4] offered/offers, to any automated methods so far.

[4]http://blip.fm/all?p=1 Is this site more than a zombie? Still no soundcloud integration in sight.

hum... so how do you link your variety of music tastes in your approach? I personally love headytunes.co and it's curation, but it only fit 1/3 of my musical world unfortunately

Well, lets say I wish John Peel would be still around. Is it almost 10 Years already?

That's a great case. I believe we should be careful with historical biais, because some it could lead to focussing results on a particular music style. In my case fore example, I listen to electonic, jazz and classical music depending on the mood of the week...

It is not open source, but you may be willing to give a hand ;)

I would love to help but I'm not much of a web developer :) I'll definitely be following closely though so if I see a way I can help I'll let you know.
