I agree, I don't want the responsibility of all that.  I just play my
music and hope it all averages out.  It seems to work well.  I don't
expect it to be perfect.  I think I have said that I didn't like
something once or twice.  Same with Pandora.  It all seems to average
out just fine.  I don't want a service that I have to have my hand on
the remote all the time.  That is too much work. :)
