My Million-dollar idea

"Serendipity Shuffle"

Your MP3 player has a shuffle mode. But serendipity shuffle goes one step further. It analyzes the song that you're currently playing and then makes a shortlist of songs related to the song you're listening to now -- mostly by looking for matches in the lyrics, although other linking criteria might be used. Then it randomly selects from the shortlist.

Your music is still "random", but you'll notice a weird, slowly-evolving theme running through all the songs.

Have you ever tried Pandora?

I believe they actually analyze wavelengths and frequencies and stuff too - they always seem to give me matches that have similar tones.
