Living in Upstate New York, this app is sure to make me incredibly depressed.

Sarcasm aside, what's to prevent a resident of, say, California from hearing the same stuff every single day?

Honestly this does look really cool. Will definitely look into it.

Well, I'm using a service that lets you create individualized 'stations' that persist. Every time you listen to a song, it is registered and theoretically it should not play the same songs for a while at least. I also have some randomness in the api call every time a new playlist is set up to try and prevent repeats happening. Having said that...its a work in progress, I sometimes do get repeats, but am working to get better results.
