Tech at the speed of Warp

Musicovery is an online radio station that has some interesting features. The concept is so catchy that it borders on addiction. With this said it should also be said that it creates playlists without your input or preferences outside of the select era from which you can hear music from, or the selection of mood you want your music to be delivered to you. I find this amazing, simple but affective. Some may find this a little restrictive and would like to fashion their own playlists but then this wouldn't be a radio. It boasts itself as interactive radio and it does that exceptionally well.

The selection box for mood is presented as a matrix with Energetic, Calm and Dark, Positive.
One of biggest downside until now was that there was no way of pausing the playlist. Some other nuisance were that if you select the next song in the playlist it refurbishes the playlist according to some mysterious rule.

The pause and play are now added in 2.01 version which is a big plus.Along side the pause/play button a subtle indicator that displays from which era the current playing music is also a welcome addition.

Now they have to fix the skipping of songs when selected from the playlist or even add the ability to rearrange the songs in a playlist. Or, just leave it as is and just explain what is the point of the playlist path and why is it so wavy....
