as usual, here's my ideas
There is an oligarchy at play here - a lot of the same songs you hear are by the same listeners. There are about 15-20 of the same tunes over and over. Limiting a user to one request a day would be an idea. If there are gaps, the random cycle could kick in.
I have a different perspective because I don't listen to AM during the day, I just see what's playing when I check in periodically. So if there is a band I've ner heard, I can hear it. But usually if Rare Bird comes on or Tangent etc, I can pass.
Jim's suggestion of scrolling through by letter is as good as any.
If you are over 30, you probably have more music than you can listen to. Also, you don't have time to check out new bands as much as can be done. So go out on a limb and request something new. The only drawback is that some of the best material by bands are not on the playlist. But, that's a necessary evil to create space for different bands.
I would be happy to pick out an hour or two worth of songs a week, that would be fun. Conversely, I would be content with a song a week.
