Creating Stations From Attributes

I came to the same conclusion as eldoop while I was using Pandora today, and I visited Get Satisfaction just now to see if anyone had shared this idea. I would love to have the ability to create a station by specifying what attributes I want songs to have and also what attributes I don't want songs to have.

Like eldoop, I would want to specify that songs have an "Overall Meditative Sound," but since I dislike nature sounds in songs, I would also want to specify that songs not have "Subtle Use of Noise Effects."

This is a wonderful idea. I just got on Get Satisfaction to suggest that Pandora implement a feature in which you can choose a musical attribute and see a list of songs with that attribute, but this would be even better.

I feel that for music nerds like me (and probably many other people who use Pandora), it's not enough to just type in an artist or song that we like. We know what we like in music--in my case, rhythmic piano, romantic lyrics, and vocal harmony--and it would be really interesting to create stations using combinations of these attributes.

I would also really like to see the company implement this into the interface! I use Pandora on regular basis and always think that if I adjust the station's attributes manually then the resulting songs would be so much better. I really hope Pandora strongly considers this.
