This is how techy it has become in 2012 to find out which service (yeah, we’re no longer talking shops or radio stations or whatever) has the best coverage of music catalogues. Automated API-requests, bars and pie-diagrams. 
In the olden days you would just ask for a recommendation, which store carries what rarities or newbies. Today finding the right place to listen to music on the net is more of a performance-science than a heartfelt recommendation. Weird.
