Right. I was thinking along the lines of building your profile gradually in the background using your content access and usage patterns together with metadata that should be almost trivially available - music titles & artists & genres, location tags, browsing history and the like. But obviously there's a limit for the generalizability (is that a word?) for all this.

EDIT: As Texrat says above, automated contextual metadata is certainly important here. It could conceivably be produced by all kinds of apps for different types of content.
