jcknbl:
Right, there is only so much about music that can be reduced to "genes" or whatever. Qualities like aesthetic and not-suckiness are pretty much left out. The results are therefore either absurd or bands like the one you input but worse.

But I don't know that its the fault of the programmers. I'm not sure it would be possible to program those things.

Not An Addict:
The limitations on skipping songs drives me bugfuck, but the program spits out one or two gems that make it worth the wait for me, stuff I would likely have never discovered otherwise. It doesn't work well if your musical tastes are all over the map, or if you only like one song by a particular band but the program seems determined to educate you on that band's entire discography. Interesting idea, though.

Yeah, Pandora's music-matching is roughly on par with that of a deaf two-year-old. I fed it an EBM band and it skipped straight to embarrassing disco music.

Last.FM (mine's in my sig) is the canine's nuts.

Most definitely.  Hooray for streaming radio with unlimited skipping, song/artist/user recommendations, and too many groups to count!

Egh, not feeling last.fm too much.

They didnt have the following artists that shoudl be there.

Mustaphamond
Tera Melos
Neil Perry
Saetia

I don't understand it too much, it showed that people have played it, but I'm guessing that means they played it from their own files and not off of last.fm

Oh well.
