The more you turn up the slider, the LESS suggestions you get from Soundflavor. I'm with you - I would have expected it to turn up the volume of Soundflavor, but it does the opposite.

Last I hear it was three months away (Q1 '07) -- which is crazy -- but alas, at least there are plans. Funny about the slider -- the idea was that, the more you slide it up, the more "flavored" the list would become; in fact, the flavor is based on whatever is currently playing when you slide it up, so in your case, with “Is It Any Wonder” playing, as you slide it up more songs like that one would be added to your playlist. The goal being: "Hey, I really dig this tune and want to hear more like it." Since I'm on a Mac I haven't tried it yet and don't know how clear that is, but that was the intention anyway! ;) Hey Brent, thanks for the review — and I totally hear you about the Mac version.
