Agregga: Like Pandora for videos, but not as useful

Now that Pandora is unavailable outside of the US and UK, where do you go for your streaming music recommendations?

Aggrega wants to be a sort of Pandora for music videos. You enter an artist and it will pull up videos from that performer and others it thinks you might like. You can improve the recommendations by clicking "I Love" or "I Hate" buttons for each song.

But here's the problem. Aggrega grabs all of its music videos from YouTube. In other words, you'll wind up with a lot of fan-made music videos of kids lip-syncing songs or amateurs performing covers. The service also brings up a fair number of videos that have been removed, which shouldn't be surprising since many of the actual music videos posted to YouTube are done so without the consent of copyright holders.

As YouTube continues to crack down on copyright violations, it's likely that Aggrega could become even less useful unless the service uses videos from other services or actually gets distribution rights for the videos it serves up.

Another thing that's kind of annoying is that Aggrega will show you a list of upcoming videos, but it won't let you skip ahead to listen to those songs, and it doesn't always play them in order.
