So I have a Pandora station called "Gary Numan Radio". I've trained it exclusively with late 70s and early 80s punk, post-punk, industrial, and minimalistic new wave. It normally does a great job, giving me a great mix of the old and the new, the well-heard and the obscure. But it's always on-genre. I'll get The Buzzcocks, Gary Numan, Chris & Cosey, The Magnetic Fields, Fischerspooner, etc, etc.
But every once in a while, it will throw in something that I have to assume is something they've been paid to push. The other day I got a Backstreet Boys track, tonight I got a Brittney Spears track. I pulled up the "why did you play this track" selection and got some vague nonsense about "vocal harmony and synthetic..." blah blah blah. Yeah, right. If I'm going to be paying for this (and I intend(ed) to once my free trial runs out) I really don't want to be fodder for Marketing. I've become very marketing-averse in recent years (call it an allergic reaction due to over-exposure). This could be a deal-breaker for me... -- rudholm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rudholm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24659 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
