I like the general idea, but when I switch from one radio to the next, the audio seems to continue playing so I hear multiple stations at once.

I am liking the music that I am currently listening to but apart from that I don't really understand how this music is selected. "By robots using upvotes" doesn't explain it very well.

It would also be nice to see some volume controls.

On broad terms, music that is more "upvoted" tends to be selected by the "DJ" more often, but we use a trend predection algorythm to weight the selection.

Those are not the only criteria for selection, but its the most decisive. We assign "points" to the different criteria and then rank the next best song according to that index.

it appears that people curate the pools of music, but the playlists are created by robots
