You've probably opted into their five-star ratings thing under the "Music Labs" menu. That seems to replace the thumbs-up/thumbs-down. Based on that, it's unclear to me that either of these widgets is actually connected to anything in terms of radio station training/programming.
They definitely have work to do here. Here's an example:
- I search for the song "Truth" by Alexander
- Sure enough, the first song that comes up in the results was the one I was looking for
- However, the other songs it brought up were NOT, like "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus and a few other similar songs
- I clicked the "thumbs down" button next to those songs, yet when "Truth" ended, sure enough I was subjected to "The Climb"
- The problem is that you have to actually start listening to a song you don't want to hear, then clicking the thumbs down button will instantly move to the next track
This is different in the Android App. You can swipe away future tracks in a playlist easily, and it's a great design. They just need to add that to the web app somehow.
Man, I can't wait to get the desktop voice search and the web Maps invites...
