We have sampled the artist social network of Myspace and to it applied the pairwise relational connectivity measure Minimum cut/Maximum flow. These values are then compared to a pairwise acoustic Earth Mover’s Distance measure and the relationship is discussed. Further, a means of constructing playlists using the maximum flow value to exploit both the social and acoustic distances is realized.
