The coolest new tracks by the hottest R&B acts such as Ne-Yo, Mary J. Blige, T.I. and Chris Brown. Some material may not be suitable for all listeners.
The U.S. Government (FCC) has rules and regulations that internet broadcasters must follow in order to be 'legal'. That is why listener created stations have rules that our own programmed ones do not.
If you want that changed, get rid of your elected leaders.
I'm sorry, I wasn't quite aware the purpose of the programmed stations was to suck to begin with. It's ok though, there are enough people out there who enjoy the playlists/stations as they are, so I'll stop whining (about that at least).
And... just so you know... I do get the point of finetune (just not the sucky station part of it maybe?), or at least I think so. And yes, I would be really glad to create my own station and stop being a pain in the &$%!, but may I remind you that a user may only add 3 songs of the same artist to a playlist? This is a restriction which doesn't seem to apply to you, and so I came looking for a playlist instead of creating my own.
This 3-song restriction greatly limits the way one can construct a playlist, and makes it really difficult, if not impossible, to have, as you suggest, my "own" station, where there should be a consistency between the various songs and artists in there.
Just to avoid further useless discussion (about me not getting the point of it either or something like that), I DO get the point of the 3-song limit and I think it's a great thing, since that way we get to enjoy this service for free. Thank you. But wouldn't you agree that at some point past, let's say, 200 songs, one should be able to add 1 more song of each artist? Otherwise you're, sooner or later, almost forced to listen to crap. And that, I think, is not in the interest of the site nor the users.
I really hate how you automatically consider anything involving a black artist R&B... most of this tracks are really rap, but on top of that not even good rap, just a bunch of comercial crap.
I know you think that anything that hits the "major" charts is R&B because they say so, but I think it's sad that you don't program the station according to what you think, and what you FEEL is R&B, instead of what they want to sell as such.
I'm sure you enjoy music and know a lot about it, so please: would it really be so hard for the finetune stations to stop being that mainstream and introducing some music that really fits into a category? I really don't care if the artists I'm listening to are good-looking, celeb-dating guys or just normal Joes and Janes who also happen to be good musicians.
Didn't mean to insult you...but rap music is a BIG part of current R&B. R&B Lite is the same music without the rap, built for people who didn't like the music situation.
You can always build your own station here. Try it!
um...Rap and 50 Cent ARE NOT R&B, I don't care what the R&B chart states. You wouldn't have put The Beastie Boys or Run DMC on the R&B section back in the 80s or 90s, would you?
That's like saying that TOOL should be on the Pop station along with the likes of Natasha Beddingford (forgive the spelling...)or Vanessa Carlton.
R&B Lite???? What does that mean? Who is that for? People who have been shot less than 9 times or only have the bottom teeth gold plated?

Good question. It's considered R&B if it makes the R&B/Hip-Hop chart on any of the major national music publications like Billboard or raio & Records. nce it does, it is added to our own finetune managed stations...so it does include rappers as well as old school R&B artists who are still active and singing the old fashioned way. Keep listening!
First I'll say I like the site. About this playlist: If a rapper has someone singing the hook, is that considered R&B? Too many rappers/posers are on this list, IMO.
