This is probably old news to most of you, but last weekend a friend
told me about Pandora radio, an function of the "Music Genome
Project."
Here's how it works: The user starts his own "radio station" and
lists a few songs or artists that appeal to him/her, probably fitting
into that "stations" format (not required). Once you start listening
Pandora will mix in music with some of the characteristics of the
artists the user listed originally. If the user thinks the
suggestions suck an "I don't like this song" button can be pushed,
banishing that song (and probably that artist) from future play on
that station. It's a pretty cool concept.
