Several people mentioned Pandora to me. I haven't studied it in detail
mostly because when I wanted to on my main PC, it wouldn't work with Flash
players later than 8, and I didn't want to downgrade from 8.5/9.

I'd like to know the technology behind it. I think Sun Labs is trying to get
absolute with extremely granular "fingerprinting" on multiple criteria so
the "comparison" is on a more quantitative rather than personal pref level.
