I wonder if it would be possible to add the possibility to dynamically update/improve a mix in the same way as when playing via Pandora. In Pandora one can thumb up or down songs playing in the mix and one can also add more artists or more songs. In that way the currently playing mix is refined.
It could be possible - in a somewhat limited way: there are methods to control what is being added to a mix. Some of this is already available (much improved in the version I'm running at home right now ;-)). Unfortunately all these parameters are bound to a session. These sessions aren't long-lived, but limited to the current mix. Therefore you can tweak the mix you're listening to, but all that tweaking and tuning will be forgotten when you start a new mix.
That said I'll add support for "hotttnesss" (familiarity combined with up-to-dateness(?)), diversity, energy, danceability and probably "more/less like this track".
Oh, and it'll include a "play local tracks only" option as well.
My idea is that first a song-mix is created from the currently playing song, and then one can thumb up/down the songs playing, and finally one can save the mix as a new recipe that one can continue playing later.
Due to the aforementioned limitation tweaks like "more of this" or the history of already played tracks won't be able to be saved as a recipe. Other parameters should be. I'm working on it.
