Jango is a free online music streaming service that allows users to create and share custom radio stations. Users choose artists to stream, and the station plays music from similar artists. Users can further refine their stations by rating songs and artists in their feed to play less or more frequently.

My frontend is a better frontend because Jango does dumb stuff like stop playing and say "This station is off the air, please try skipping forward or tune in to another station…" or "This Station has ended. Try creating a Custom Mix or tune into a new station."
Wait. The dumb failure message has changed. Does that mean? "http:undefined" Crap. The cookie is valid but the json data is missing. Must fix.
Thank you, troll!! You found a bug for me.

One interesting thing I found is that searches from the app won't find a particular song even when others from the same album are on there, which I assume is a limitation of Jango's licensing of music or its clustering algorithm. But then some searches on the main site will turn up the music videos for songs I couldn't pull up.
I also loaded a YouTube in there for the first time, bringing up the original studio recording of Green Onions instead of a live version.
I like how I can just load Jango Raid, click Search and then play a stream of the top 100 songs that cool, hip millennials are listening to.

Jango's database isn't perfectly searchable.
Sometimes certain artists or songs just can't be found by name.
http://jango-raid.ml/?song_id=2001293&t=383711140&a=Ruth_B&s=Lost_Boy [jango-raid.ml]
Ruth B is unsearchable by name or as artist_id 300160.
Lost Boy can still be found by song_id and still appears in the Best Of 2016 station.
If anyone really really wanted to, anyone could build a better index by scraping every song by song_id.
Songs are sequentially numbered starting from 1.

Jango has 2221061 songs.

Tune in tomorrow to find out who uploads song_id 2221062.

Hopeful bands hope music promotion will be a ticket to the big break.
