DEL.ICIO.USAn MP3 player that automatically refills itself
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Like what seems like most of the human race I have an MP3 player. And the music stored on it is - predictably enough - some of my all time favorites. But I don’t spend much time sampling new music and the play list gets a little old.
That’s why a new service and new MP3 player interests me.
Here’s how it works. Lets start with the Web site first - you can listen to about 100 Internet stations and the site uses what you like to learn your preferences - offering music based on that.
So far - no huge deal. Other sites do that too. But things get more interesting with the next step.
The music service plans to offer its own MP3 player. It’ll connect to the site whenever you are in range of a wireless network - at home, at work, where ever. While connected it will use the profile of your musical tastes to fill the player with new tunes that fit your tastes.
You have the option of buying and keeping the music you like. Seems like a good idea to me - you can read about it here.

The key is (1) what’s the monthly fee? and (2) what’s the upfront cost for the MP3 player?
