It's a pretty good concept but I have found their library severely
lacking in "This isn't popular but it's good"-type stuff. Plus it gets
repetitive after a while.
Also if you type in the name of a band you like in the hopes that you
will get something similar, you will also have to choose "skip this
song" because they band you type in will keep appearing. (E.g., I typed
in "Dire Straits" and I got some similar-sounding bands but their tracks
kept coming up, too ... which I didn't need since I own all their
records anyhow. LOL)
Thus endeth my two pence.
Engage lurk.
