Journal nizo's Journal: Why doesn't this exist? Uber music player 6
With all the fuss about downloading music, satellite radio, and such, what I would like to see is a radio (perhaps tied to a cellphone or cellphone like device) which plays music. Basically this radio would download music from the "station". As I listen to it, I rate the music (really like/like/hate/really hate) and based on my choices, it downloads similiar music (this is where it would be way better than any other option out there that I know of; I can find new music I like while driving to work in the morning). Maybe tie it to a website, so I can put in music I like beforehand, and see music I have already ranked. Perhaps I could program in playlists and such from the website as well, so I can either listen to music I know I like or something totally new when I feel like it (to add to my "really like" music collection, on the road). Then I can play music I like from any of these "radios" (I could have several, tied to me, perhaps only useable one at a time; heck technically I could use any of these radios that exist, perhaps after punching in my code, as long as I am only able to use one at a time. Imagine renting a car and being able to hear your favorite play lists with the radio that came with the car for example). Some music could be downloaded (a "buy and keep" option) and other tracks could be "rented". Comments?

But it doesn't download to save to my MP3/USB/Flash/FM Radio card sadly.

brooke had something similar that worked via internet. It would play random songs within the genres you selected, and you could rate them and even select "never play again" if you didn't like it. She never told me the site name though, sorry. But such a thing does exist.

But I really like the idea as well. I carry at least one phone with me at all times and I am always running into space issues with my iPods (mostly because I like high quality MP3s and lossless SHNs and don't really want to bother with converting it to a lower bitrate MP3/AAC for when I am on the go, even if iTunes does that for me automatically).

A while back I found a freeware MP3 player called Synapse. It claimed to have a brain that would "remember" your listening preferences and would play back the songs you had listened to in the past in random order, with each song you have manually selected given a weight depending on the number of times you have listened to it. It was even claimed that it would memorize your habits, so that if you never ever listened to two rocks songs in a row, it would never select two rock songs in a row, etc. It seemed t
