Random music that isn’t all random

While taking a break from life today, I found a link to another site called Pandora.

References to a Music Genome Project make it sound very cool in what they are trying to do.

I just signed up for my free account and have been listening for the last 30 minutes.  The music has been quite random, though the choices I made in my personal station are clear in the genre of music being offered to me.

I have not seen any of the advertising that was warned about in the sign up procedure unless you count the advertising on the right hand side oft he page – which I consider to be non-obtrusive anyway.
