Pandora: From near-death to profitability in a year

I'm not exactly sure about those particular mixes, but I know I end to get good results mixing genres in Pandora by using the "Add Variety" feature. I also find that keeping the window open and just pausing it stops the repetition, they tend to only repeat songs you really, really seem to like, or they will only once per page load (per station).

Cool thanks. I might give it a try. Though prefer last.fm's toolbar (fire.fm) as no site needs to be open, there are play controls at the bottom of firefox, as well it tells you what's playing. As I code/test within one Firefox window I prefer not to have to switch tabs to control music, learn who is playing, as well heart or ban the track playing. Though maybe Pandora has similar toolbar?

They have a desktop client, but you (apparently) have to be a member for that. I'm not sure about the features, but I would think it would allow for that.

It does, and it works on any platform Adobe Air works on. It's 30-something bucks for a whole year, and totally worth it for not having your music tied to the browser being open.
