I've built a few multi-hour playlists over the years. It's not perfect, but it's better than the alternatives.

the point of any music service to me is to locate new music styled like that which i've already indicated i like. the premise of pandora appealed to this concept. i really have no idea how it goes so wrong. it took me 3 accounts to figure it out. all started with the same recommendations. first, i thumb-upped everything i liked. down to 50 songs. 2nd account, i thumb-downed everything i disliked. same 50 songs. last i just let it play everything. never skipped, never liked/disliked. and it still arrived at about 60 of the same songs that time.
i've been told that if i work really hard to curate a spotify playlist, it'll do that. but if i'm working hard at it, i don't need an intelligent web service.
