Glad to help.

I have a handful of genre stations that I don't have any thumbs up or downs in simply because I want to experience all that the genre has to offer... I just skip it if I don't like it, or change to another station.

Otherwise, it generally takes a good amount of time to get a good mix going. Like I said, it took me several years before I got my classic rock station sorted out, but now it plays awesome stuff more consistently than any radio station.

I've found some genres are very broad, and cover a very wide swath of music. I've been tweaking my Alpine Stars station for a bit using the thumb up/down method. So far, it's been working pretty good. Mostly, using it to remove specific artists who's music I can't stand. Songs by an artist that I really like I'll TU. Songs by that same artist that I don't really care for I'll leave alone. Songs by artists who's music is consistantly annoying, I'll TD.

Yeah, that sounds like you're doing it pretty similarly to how I am.

I'm just tired of seeing people post crap like "OMG, IT PLAYS MORE ARTISTS OTHER THAN T.I. ON MY T.I. STATION, WTFFFF?!?!"

I would kill to hear someone actually exclaim that exact statement. I would roll over laughing and hope someone recorded it so I can make it my ringtone.


Particularly the multiple "F"s at the end

I copied that almost verbatim (I think he used a different-but-equally-worthless artist) from a review of the Pandora app on the Android market place.

maybe i should finally try pandora >.<
Ive taught dozen of my customers how to use it but I haven't used it myself since lately Ive been listening to japanese music and few selected songs(like 45ish).
Besides I have a good collection of stuff.....6758 songs as of now which include about 500 two hourish trance mixes by my friends from taiwan, stuff that I highly doubt I can find on pandora.

^ Try MOG, it's similar, but has a much more diverse music selection.

This is silly. I just got another $5 BB reward thing. I'm now up to $75.
