One of the favourite pastimes in hostels is this. You burn loads of music onto cds, and then listen and figure out the ones you like. Often you ask friends, some you happen to hear. But the point is that you fuzzily know what you like, but you have to undergo huge search costs to find out more of what you like. I gave it up in my search for music that I like till I returned back to it with this. I am immensely thankful for it!

This phenomenon is rampant through out our lives. We need information, specific and functional information, that gives us informed choices.
