i typed in 'aphex twin', and have been listening to a stream of great stuff for the last few hours.. most of which i have never heard.. it's pretty amazing this thing is finding music i've never heard, yet i like 80+% of it.
you can give tracks thumbs-up or thumbs-down, like tivo, and it will adjust it's programming automatically based on your input. at the beginning i thumb'd down 3 tracks that weren't so great, but since then, it's been solid.
a note: it will ask you to register (email, zip code, password) after 5 tracks. just put in whatever, it doesn't validate it, or even make you check your email. and despite what it says about ads, i haven't heard one yet.. minimal effort for what it does. i'm impressed.. and a little scared that a machine is this good at picking music i enjoy..

yeah, i'm quite impressed so far. the suggestions get better as you train it.
i'm amused - legowelt isn't in there, but ochre is (go xlt!).

pretty much everybody i've spoken to so far says after a while, pretty much every track it throws at you, they like
my music taste must be a little bizarre, because after training it with perhaps 20 or 30 songs now i'm only liking about 1/6 of what it's giving me. it's still very cool, though.

haha, I just got "It's taking longer than expected to figure out the perfect song to play next." It's been hanging there for about 5 minutes now.
wonder if it's server load or it's thinking WTF at my choices

It scares me a bit too. It makes me feel like giving up listening to music.

as a human being, you're probably a much simpler being than you realise.
i know what you're getting at; the fact music taste (or art taste) can be accurately calculated is worrying, but, oh well. it's finding good music, at least. it's working pretty well for me now, most songs it's played in the past hour have been decent.
