A predictive music streaming service from the days before the Great Enshittification of the Internet

Back in... 2005...? I could use it in Germany before they locked out the rest of the world apart from the US. They cited licensing as the reason.

Back then it was like "normal" Radio in the way that you could not search for a specific song, but it would play something similar and then you could give thumbs up/down and over time you had your own curated radio station. You could then have several of those.

Don't know if it still works like this but I liked it very much due to its simple interface.

The feature I miss from Pandora is being able to list a combination of artists as the basis for a station.

Yeah, I remember it being really good and also "knew" some of the more obscure stuff like Buckethead which really impressed me. And generally the way you zoned in on your radio station.

ah, makes sense. I am from Canada, so it is unavailable here

It's the other music services before those music streaming services existed. It's the precursor to the other apps on this list.
