With Version 3.0, Zune gives you personalized music recommendations, based on your listening history. These dynamic rec&#8217;s come to you via customized Zune channels, and &#8216;Picks&#8217; for you in Zune Marketplace.

<p>With Version 3.0, Zune gives you personalized music recommendations, based on your listening history. These dynamic rec&#8217;s come to you via customized Zune channels, and &#8216;Picks&#8217; for you in Zune Marketplace.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a great concept, and I&#8217;ve personally found the track suggestions to be pretty sound. The trouble is, they&#8217;re not dynamic enough.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to see new recommendations appearing, instead of the (more or less) same set that I saw three weeks ago when 3.0 was released. <a href="http://zunerama.com/forum/index.php?topic=11678.0">(What has your experience been?)</a></p>
<p>Is this because of the <a href="http://www.zunerama.com/2008/09/zune-marketplace-down-starting-monday/">playcount lag</a> that has resulted from the increased demand on Zune servers? Or does the recommendations algorithm need work?</p>
<p>Either way, this feature will benefit from a tweak or two.</p>
