NYTimes: MP3 Jukebox with 26,000 Songs

NYTimes: Mr. Stuto .. was not about to fill EL DJ with Top 40 selections or allow just any music to be played at Hi Fi. His collection is eclectic and heavy on rock. Since he has all the room in the digital world, he can offer 17 full-length Rolling Stones albums instead of a greatest-hits compilation, and samplings of local bands that otherwise have little exposure.

If a song is excessively chosen it will be marked "overplayed," sparing anyone from making a choice considered common. Victims of overplay include Coldplay's "Yellow" and the Pixies' "Debaser."
