> Spotify is missing that certain ingredient that local radios This was orignaly Pandora's big selling point. Every track sent to them was analyzed by someone with a degree in music to help build a recommendation engine. It was a combination of algorithms and people. I am not sure how well that scaled or if they still do that, for the longest time Pandora had a tiny selection of music and I presume the reason was their intake process.
