Valentine
(from pearlswine)
Speaking of love, I think I'm rather infatuated with Pandora, an internet radio service which automatically recommends songs based on what you've liked in the past. The songs it picks are pretty accurate for me, and I like how it actually explains the decision logic. For example, here's the explanation for what I'm currently listening to: "Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features disco influences, a female vocal, a tight kick sound, prevalent use of groove and many other similarities identified in the music genome project." You can also create new "stations" which incorporate particular song preferences, so you don't end up listening to the same type of music all the time.
If only I could easily play the music on my iPod or Treo...
