learns your tastes and refreshes the player on every connection with music that it thinks you'll like. It might take a couple of iterations to get the recommendations right, but with patience, this could be a very compelling feature in terms of music discovery.

This is ABSOLUTELY the death of music.

This narrows and narrows and narrows your focus so that you never go out of your musical comfort zone.

That's ABSOLUTELY the last thing I want to do. Music should challenge.

But I'm weird. Most of my friends still listen to the same crap they listened to in high school. Actually they've stopped listening to music because it now bores them. This is why record companies market 90% to adolescents.

My tastes are and have constantly changed. I NEVER go by genre. In fact if I can ID the genre it usually means that it's imitative IMHO. I'm ALWAYS looking for stuff that I don't understand or has a different point of view from what I know.
