Party Playlist Generator
Enter different characteristics of your planned party, and the generator spits out a playlist of songs you should play. You would be able to describe the type of people attending your party (college friends, co-workers, family member, etc), the probability that people will be dancing, whether you want familiar songs or obscure ones, and choose which genres of music you want in your playlist. Partnerships can be formed with digital music stores, and the site can link to those stores where you can buy the tracks in your playlist.

Fuck. Me and Josh were working on Pandora a couple months back and came up with similar. Son of a bitch. Ours was basically if a bunch of people came to a party, we could combine their Pandoras into one central hub Pandora that would find the songs that everybody would like. And if they didn't have Pandora, there could be, like, an e-vite that asks them what sorts of music they like and it would combine together. I'm so angry I'm shaking.
Yeah, similar idea but not totally the same though. In your guys' idea the playlists are coming from the tastes of the people attending the party based on what they've already listened to or tracks that are similar to what they've already listened to. That's cool. I like that, and it probably requires less work to pull off than my idea.
With my idea there would be a database of songs that are scored on a number of characteristics. A Miley Cyrus song would have a high "family party appropriate" rating while Ginuwine's "Pony" most likely would not. So when people select the characteristics of their party and their guests, the songs would match up based on their ratings related to those characteristics, not necessarily dependent on the actual tastes of the party goers.
