Mad Genius Radio offers an old‑school preset approach to streaming, letting users set up to five presets that function like car radio buttons. Each preset is an infinite playlist where listeners can add up to seven genres, weight those genres, and rank specific songs and artists to influence frequency. The platform’s algorithm continually updates genre rotations with new music so presets evolve over time, while decade-based "Time Machine" stations (e.g., Best of the ’80s) deliver the same songs on each play. Users can also "undo" settings or temporarily mute songs instead of removing them permanently. The service launched this week and is available on iOS, Android, and the web. The company has $2 million in funding from undisclosed investors and charges $5/month or $48/year; an extended free trial is underway and a paywall is planned for next year.
