"Whoa," exclaimed Joey Lawerence!

I got this from Slashdot:

All those stations, playing all that music, all the time! There's at least 40 different songs being played every week on most radio stations! Who has enough time in the day to listen to them all? That's why we've set up banks of computers to do the listening for us. They know what you really want to hear. They're trading variety for variance.

Eigenradio plays only the most important frequencies, only the beats with the highest entropy. If you took a bunch of music and asked it, "Music, what are you, really?" you'd hear Eigenradio singing back at you. When you're tuned in to Eigenradio, you always know that you're hearing the latest, rawest, most statistically separable thing you can possibly put in your ear.


Its this thing called eigenradio out of MIT (as far as I can tell) and I'm listening to it right now. Its pretty interesting! Worth checking out I suppose. It's pretty chaotic sounding, but still neato. Have fun roll the dice!
