It's like Pandora but with a social aspect.<br /><br />MeeMix allows you to block artists from your station, but it gets pretty granular, which is cool. You can block the band as a whole or just the track, block them for the day, the week or forever.<br /><br />When the Smashing Pumpkins shows up on my station, I decided I could listen to them anytime from my own collection and didn't want them to show up on a station where I'm trying to discover new music. I choose "Block > Artist > Forever". MeeMix then moves on to another song. Who should the next artist be, but Smashing Pumpkins.<br /><br />Good ol' beta.<br /><br />PS. I still recommend the service. It's free and has a fun GUI to play around with, albeit a bit buggy. I couldn't seem to get the Twitter integration to work for me.<br clear="all" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22802262-5503976036187751210?l=robshields.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rob Shieldshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05648412281920691387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22802262.post-1140559989001839922006-02-21T17:13:00.000-05:002006-02-22T10:22:06.436-05:00<div style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10px; MARGIN-LEFT: 10px"><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robshields/98318789/"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 2px solid" alt="" src="http://static.flickr.com/42/98318789_3cf9a6c629_m.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px;font-size:0;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robshields/98318789/">IMAGE_005.jpg</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/robshields/">shields8</a>. </span></div>Uh, is it just me or does this look like you'd be eating miniature versions of pratcial joke dog poo toys?<br clear="all"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22802262-114055998900183992?l=robshields.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rob Shieldshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05648412281920691387noreply@blogger.com0
