I was amazed by Pandora's recommendations too. That is, until it gave me the error "We're sorry, but we couldn't find any more music to play on your station right now. Try switching stations."

I never saw that message before; what kind of station was it?

It was my main (only?) station. I had some 30 songs on it, pretty good sampling of my tastes (pretty typical pop/rock/etc. music... Daughtry, Train, etc.). It gave me great recommendations which for a while completely blew my mind over and over (when my friend told me about the human classification part, I was like, I KNEW there was no way a machine could've done this so well), but it eventually outright failed and just gave me that message. So I gave up on it too. I guess that's better than Spotify which just plays my own songs over and over again at my "radio" stations...
