Music Genome Project

The music Genome project was an initiative started in 2000 to apply the concept of genes to categorizing music. it looks like there is one site that uses the technology so far, Pandora radio. i'm still not completly sure how the technology works, but I think it is a little more subjective than I would like, a technician listens to the music and then puts in coeffecients for the 150-500 parameters. it looks this might be a good place to test a neural net if someone was so inclined.
