30 days of ideas – 25: Next-gen personalised music radio
Sadly, this is just a workaround until someone invents the real thing
I teach music programming for radio. And while it’s true that music programming on broadcast radio is typically safe and boring, there are some very sensible and useful practices that understand how people make meaning from music, and how music fits into people’s lives that I think online services could really learn from.
And while not everyone wants to go through their music collection each night, finding the right songs to listen to the next day, and putting them in order – I think there’s something in between that and simply hitting the ‘shuffle’ button that could be useful.
