| One thing I would love though would be a random function where it

| This is one of those moments that really got me back in touch

| Also love Radio as a medium in general. Sure there are ads. Sure
| there is unsolicited content. But exactly this is the strength.
| Even if I am tripped up by some oponions which do not resonate
| with mines or music I really hate - its a stimulus to escape the
| social orinformation bubble the recommender based engines created
| for us.

| I love this app. But after a while using it I found it suffers

| refined list of good Internet radio stations playing good music.

| (semi-) random station.
