Have you guys seen this?

I think it would be neat if eJukebox supported this natively. There is, of course, a Winamp plugin, but seeing as how J. River Media Center has a specific plugin, I think eJ should too.

Ahh good! A radio broadcasting your favorite music style, with the album covers! :cool: Very nice, I can trow away my music collection! :D

Well the quality is a bit limit but it's still interesting, even if that sounds like marketing... I don't like that too much, but it's efficient: It can play my favorites french artists! :o

Thanks.

The main benefit, I believe, is that the portion of it which integrates with your music player compiles statistics on your preferences and then uses information on their end to recommend other similar music to you.

The other portion--the radio-like part--isn't any different from Shoutcast or Launch Radio or any of those. It's the ability to use your native music player to find more music that's appealing.

OK, but I haven't installed the sneak part! :P (I'm not sure I want this...)
I've just said to the player: I like "Noir Désir", and it started to play me some good french artists! :) Even if I'm not used to hear them... (sometimes) in english!! :o

PS: You can try to type "Noir désir" in the player if you want, it will reveal you the famous "french touch". ;)

Thank you for this good player. In fact the sound quality is pretty good! :cool:

Well, I think I'll keep my music collection a bit more...
The range seems to be really too limited, at least for the french artists. Certainly that in english it's more successful!
