09:48 - Pretty damn cool

Chris pointed me at this site, Pandora, which appears to be completely revolutionizing streaming music.
"The Music Genome Project". Now that sounds cool. And I'm thinking about filing a bug with Apple that reads "Problem: you guys haven't bought Pandora and incorporated them into iTunes yet."
It's just streaming, and they have legalese that says stuff like "Our music licenses do not allow us to let you back up the music to replay a specific song," so they're not running any ragged edge of legitimacy or anything. But it does mean you get to direct how the upcoming songs get queued, through nothing more explicit than the heuristics of the music you indicate you like as it plays.
Plus it already has iTunes and Amazon purchase links built right into every song. This would be a no-brainer if Apple's looking for a competitive advantage. And even if not, it's going to warrant at least a fair amount more attention from me.
