11/28 OK, Fark has shown me http://www.pandora.com and it is kinda cool. After
10-20 reviews it can get pretty good at predicting what music you will
like.
\_ I'm an engineer at pandora...glad you're liking it. --lye
\_ Ah, now that I've got your attention can I suggest a couple
features? It would be nice to have the option to open the player
in a seperate 'undecorated' window or whatever the JavaScript
word for it is. Also, though you can start a station based on a
band or song, it would be interesting to search by selecting
several of the song attribute tags you have... Keep up the good
work. -dgies
\_ also, replay of previous songs would also be nice.
\_ ok. it doesn't seem to work for me. I entered Floyd, and got a
station that only plays Floyd. I entered Postal Service, and got
a station that only plays The Postal Service. I thought it was
supposed to find _similar_ music.
\_ They're not licensed to do that. I'm sure it's obviously
obviously something they'd like to do if the music
industry let them. I still wonder if it would be a
problem if they simply allowed playing small snippets of
previously-played songs instead, though.
\_ dgies - You can do this. Just click the little box that says
"minimize" below the bottom right corner of the flash app.
Thanks for the search suggestion - something like that is
probably in the cards at some point. --lye
\_ you work there?? do you know david michel-ruddy? he's a
music guy
\_ It sounds really cool, any chance there will be a non-flash
version? The license on flash is obnoxious. |
