I’ve been a big fan of the Pandora digital music service for many months now. However, as I’ve tried to “fine tune” the service, I’ve realized that what I really want is direct access to the taxonomy of musical attributes or “genes” that supposedly drive the system. Being both a musician and software engineer, I’d really love something like an SQL interface – a Music Query Langugage, if you will!
Pandora says on their blog that there are only 400 attributes. That’s really not that overwhelming. I can easily imagine a user interface that would make this quite manageable. Something like a graphic equalizer, where you select the attributes you want and adjust the relative strengths of each.

Dude, when you were growing up, did you have to suffer screams of “turn down that debugger!!! You’ll wake the entire neighborhood!”

Thanks!

Heh. Luckily for my family & neighbors, most of my early exposure to programming was done at school. Those old teletypes were really quite noisy, in fact. (But nowhere near as loud as my band!)
