Yeah, the last FM radio machine is badass.

nescience:

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Pandora works great for some things, but as I've said before, it's flaw is the subjectivity of that 'music gene' system. Some of the bands that share qualities are ridiculous. For example, I type in Current 93, and it gives me Coldplay because of the piano. That would be wonderful if even a majority of Current 93 releases used the piano, or if they toured with one live.
--- End quote ---


I think this could alternately be attributed to the computation of similarity on only an artist level.  This obviously leads to a lot of overgeneralization for artists that have experimented a lot or who have genre-hopped in their careers, like C93 or Brian Eno.  It would be nice to see their system implemented on a track level (or even an album level), but it's difficult to scale a system like theirs down to that level.

KharBevNor:
Nah, the gene system is just flawed. Another example: the genes variety seems to be weighted to certain forms of music. Lots of random metal and nu-metal acts seem to have almost exactly the same genes. I should NOT be able to type in Mayhem and be offered Puddle of Mudd.
