Re: play.it


jivajiva - you say you're getting less repetition on Pandora now. Have they
changed something, or did you remove a lot of "thumbs-up" designations on songs?

I was finding that Pandora played me almost exclusively songs that I'd
thumbs-up'd. While I appreciated hearing music I liked already, I was jonesing
for some variety too -- so I removed a lot of the "thumbs-up" designations.

If it's safe to thumbs-up again (and still get variety), that'd be good to know!

btw, I took a look at play.it...I listen to a lot of obscure music, and play.it
just seems to be focusing on the most popular tastes at the moment. For me,
Last.fm has the best overall music variety, followed by Pandora.

Rev. Bear: No the ads really don't drive me nuts. I think if there were more real ads it would bother me more as most just seem to be promos for other CBS...
