AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of a web program designed to help users identify their preferred musical genres and specific songs. The idea involves creating a hierarchical pyramid of song segments that would allow users to sample various styles without infringing on copyrights. The conversation highlights the limitations of traditional radio in catering to individual music tastes and mentions existing platforms like Pandora, which allows users to input songs or artists to discover similar music. However, users express that matching music is more complex than anticipated, with Pandora serving as a rough approximation of the desired functionality. The need for a stable internet connection, such as DSL, is also noted to fully enjoy these services.

What is the feasibility of a Web program that allows one to narrow down a particular musical genre for favorite songs?

I want to find the type of, e. g., jazz I would like best, and the radio won't cut it. I thought that a hiearchical pyramid of song segments (so not to violate copyrights) of various styles, sampled on the Web, could eventually select particular selections most to my liking.

Is there any such program out there to your knowledge?

www.pandora.com let's you input songs or artists and then let's you listen to songs that are similar.
 
dav2008,

Thanks for your keen advice. Matching music is harder to achieve than I thought. Pandora is pretty much like I imagined, except rougher. I will need DSL to appreciate it fully.

By the way, is that squirrelly behavior displayed in your avatar?
