unless they've rewritten it fron when (errrm) Al (??) posted it a few months back....it's spurious to say the least.....dig deeper and you wil see.
I didn;t play too long but I read a lot of what was said here and it was reasonably damning.

I don't think it does what it sets out to do... the descriptions of the music etc are too generic
however, as a musical radio station to listen to while you're at work. It's great! It does better to pick out similar sounding artists than does real rhapsody (which I know isn't saying much) and it requires no downloading. I hate flash, but it's better than downloading a music player at work.
It also evolves, and I have no idea how good it was 3 months ago, but at least the first 10 songs when I played Joy Division radio were not by interpol or she wants revenge ;)
In short: I like it, but for different reasons than the creators' intent
