            How hard could it be to build a thing that classifies music into genres and then creates playlists based on shared transitions (in/out; tempo; timbre; genre; vocal range; probable instrumentation), where the training corpus is mp3s with carefully groomed tags? If you crowdsource the corpus and don't skimp on paid human validation of the training set and store the trained data set (rules, neural net serialization, etc) authoritatively in the cloud and cached locally, where do you extract and insert money into the system to keep it going?

Subscription fees for the service as a whole, rather than piecemeal, with payments to artists arranged according to the use made of their work (possibly even fragments thereof), plus the ability to buy the music outside of the list context.

            What tactics are off-limits when getting a toddler to nap? Are they still off-limits if it's like a bodysnatcher pod-toddler?
Anything up to the point where momma gets irritated. I do recommend that you don't tell him you are also scared of the monsters/Sebastians under the bed though.
What classic sound effects started with a sleep-deprived sound person, their toddler, a kitchen and a microphone?

            How can there not be enough information to create a genius playlist for a song that was both purchased from the iTunes Store and featured as song of the day on the iTunes Store? Is that type of mismatch unavoidable friction loss on a large system?
It is a mismatch. Try again in a day or two.

You can't explain unsafe to a toddler.

This is false. You can explain it, but it does not imply that they have to listen.
