Musicovery is an interactive and customised webradio service. Listeners rate songs, resulting in a personalized programme.[Kate Russell."Webscape" (column), BBC News, February 22, 2007. Retrieved 2008-07-01.] Reviewers have commented that unlike services that are governed by the user's choice of artist or genre, this method results in more discovery of artists to which the user might not otherwise have been exposed; The Washington Post's reviewer gave the example of "segueing from a West Coast R&B band to a folk–rock group from Algeria".[Rob Pegoraro. "Jukebox With Hit Potential - Free Online Service Fine-Tunes Music to Listener's Tastes," The Washington Post (DC), August 16, 2007, Financial section, page D1.]Musicovery provides dance mix — with the ability to specify the desired dance tempo —["What's online" (column), Seattle Post-Intelligencer (WA), March 12, 2007, Life and Arts section, page E8.] and similar artist features, as well as the option of a low fidelity free service or a premium service with better sound. Users have the option to limit the selection to a specific year or range of years, as well as to deselect any genre, and genres are color-keyed to the graphic interface.[Brian Hipp. "Graph Web sites are real eye-pleasers," The Herald (Rock Hill, SC), December 4, 2006, Technology section, page 4B.] At least one U.S. newspaper reported that major advertising agency JWT listed Musicovery on its 2007 list of "80 things to watch in 2008," a list of trends and new products and services;[D.L. Stewart. "Radically transparent predictions for 2008," Dayton Daily News (OH), January 18, 2008, Life section, page D7.] however, the article does not indicate whether the agency had any business relationship with companies on the list.
