Custom stations

[JudahGabriel]

Several listeners have asked for the ability to create custom stations, seeded with one or more artists, albums, tags.

I think it's a great idea, and it's a feature many folks are already familiar with thanks to Pandora.

We could then build off this feature and publish some Chavah playlists available to users, e.g. Bruce Cohen music, Instrumentals, Israeli Hebrew, etc.

A listener requested "genre playback subtraction tab" where a user doesn't want to hear songs in a foreign language.

A way in Chavah to make a genre playback subtraction tab that pulls out songs which are all Hebrew or other languages and are basically meaningless to the English speaking listener? Maybe other subtraction tabs would also be helpful such as would create an instantaneous song playlist without those of low ratings? Or maybe a playlist which serves as a song-set for a Shabbat music service... for a sacred assembly.

We could make this work by station seeding. In addition to seeding a station with an artist/album/song/tag, we could let users create a "negative seed" where it instructs Chavah not to play a song/artist/album/tag as part of that station.
