I thought the RIAA was against user-selected songs. For example if
you use Pandora, the *machine* chooses the music, not you.

You can create a start point, with a list of songs. Pandora creates a
playlist based on those songs, and you can indicate those you like a lot or
don't want to hear again, and Pandora refines its list for you. It is very
cool, particularly the engine behind it.

I found it to be very ineffective. I would type in Avril Lavigne who
I like, and then it would play some dumb song from some no-name artist
I'd never heard. And I'd click "skip". Again and again. Eventually
it reached a point where Pandora kept playing the same songs over-and-
over.

I prefer a human programmer. They'll typically do a "no repeat
workday" thus providing lots of variety, but also having a huge
library of classic hits.

Even an Ipod on shuffle is better than pandora. Computers are dumb,
and the computer behind Pandora is also quite dumb with its poor
selections & repetitive playing.- Hide quoted text -

Sounds like you're simply scared of Pandora because it represents
progress and technological innovation.

Not really. I was one of the FIRST people to try pandora, almost two
years ago.

You keep swinging-and-missing.



BTW you really love your computer's internet. Have you tried
"interfacing" with the female port yet? It's probably more exciting
than teh blow-up doll you've been using.

What...you mean you actually used the internet? Weren't you afraid
that it would cease to exist before you could finish doing anything?

LOL....it's always easy to tell when a 'nerve' has been struck. I knew
from the minute you opened your pie hole in this group that at bottom
you're a technophobe. The fact that you're an engineer makes it even
sweeter.
