And I can’t remember who posted it, or what was in the title - and things I do remember are all too vague. Could some kind soul with much better searching skills find me the link that was given in it?

It was to a site where you entered in songs you liked, and it then chose other songs to play based on those choices. I’ve lost the address…so it would be nice if someone could find it for me again, please?

There was like 7 threads on it! For good reason, it’s a mighty neat site.

I’m up to about 8 channels on mine now. Try a Van Morrison channel. It opens up a nice variety of anything from Buffett to The Waterboys. But it’s killing my budget - about twice a day, I say “Hey!”, and head to the I-Tunes store. ☹

You can also try [www.liveplasma.com](http://www.liveplasma.com). Instead of songs though, you enter names of music groups you like and it will find groups with similar sounding music. It also works for movies and actors.
