Nope, Pandora chooses from existing songs. I would like to hear generated music -- like gwern posted, only generated in real time, an infinite stream. With no copyrights!

I tried Pandora once, years ago, and the music it found felt competely dissimilar to what I wanted. This could be because (if I understand the system correctly) people are tagging the songs, and the tags they give to the songs are probably unrelated to what I like about them.

Ah. Well, I don't think that generating good music is a solved problem to start with. Once we can generate good music on demand, we can start thinking about matching tastes and emotional states.
