The OP was simply a quote from that 'Billboard' article

I posted the link for it, above. I took the point here to be that Amazon, through some vast inscrutable mechanism of "Cloud Computing," is going to choose songs for erstwhile radio listeners in response to vague suggestions. Such a system is subject to corruption on every level.

My point was that the music business have always been corrupt, on every level, since its inception.

That the verbal suggestions to Amazon Dots are to be yelled across the room to the device, as it sits listening constantly to our homes' every sound, makes it somewhat terrifying. My brilliant daughter is professional in the delivery side of the on-line entertainment industry in Hollywood and I offer these observations derived from my chats with her:

1. The on-line entertainment industry smells an unlimited pipeline of money to be sucked out of the American consumer and the competing businesses will do ANYTHING to keep their market share, and

2. She intuits that she and her boyfriend have both been fed tailored marketing based on words they have *spoken* over their cellphones, computer, Skype, etc.

So the music business is listening. GO ahead, buy a "Dot" and connect to them, if you choose. Or, you could just play some records...
