It's part of the "Music Genome Project". You enter the name of an artist or a song and it will build a playlist of other artists with similar qualities. It even explains how how it's quantified the properties of each track. Then, for each one you can say if you like or dislike it and it tweaks the list accordingly.
I've already found a couple of new artists to check out. At one point it was playing one of those They Might Be Giants songs that's got a sort of faux-40s sound to it and, when I said that I liked it, the next song was an old Bob Hope/Margaret Whiting duet ("Blind Date", which is an absolutely adorable song). TMBG to Bob Hope. And it actually made sense. Rocking.
