SiriusXM buys Pandora for $3.5 billion

My experience is that Spotify's Daily Mix playlists are actually remarkably good "radio stations"! I get up to 6 different "stations", they keep generating random new tracks the longer you listen, and they do a reasonably good job of segmenting the different styles of music I enjoy. The naming is wonky but I think the Daily Mixes are a much better "radio" than the actually-named-radio feature in Spotify.

And they automatically rotate and update based on your listening!

Yeah, they're great, but I wish they had some knobs to twiddle - like how often to play new stuff vs stuff I've played. It's a bit too easy to create feedback loops. Like say I'm trying to learn a song on guitar and play a song say 5 or 6 times. Now in my Daily Mix stations that'll be the ONLY song by that artist that they play.
