[QUOTE="onkl, post: 71168, member: 11584"] You sure have some point on the less common genre problem. Another idea. If you look at e.g. [url=http://www.last.fm/tag/rock]Rock[/url], you can see "related" tags. I'm not sure whether you can grab that as xml, but if so, I'd propose a screen with 5 buttons on the left: Favorites: Show favorites Play : play the station with the selected genre. Add to favorites: add/remove toggle for the selected genre Find related: show the "related" genres. All tags: show the tags list, in order of popularity, as earlier. This might be the start screen until user added some favorites This might serve two goals: -If I love, say electro-industrial (I actually do), I'd add it to favorites by clicking Metal (#5 in pop. list)->Industrial->Electro-Industrial->add to favorites. Seems pretty easy to me, since most fans of somewhat obscure tags/genres will know to which more popular genres it is related. -[url=https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?p=109427#109427]Chili's gf[/url] :wink: will learn that if she likes [url=http://www.last.fm/tag/britney%20spears]Britney Spears[/url], not only she is most probably [url=http://www.last.fm/tag/annoying%20fans]annoying[/url] and likes a [url=http://www.last.fm/tag/whore]*censor*[/url], but might also enrichen her live, or at least musical taste, with [url=http://www.last.fm/tag/really%20good%20to%20sing%20along%20to]more fabulous songs to sing along with[/url]...
