The playlist does require a certain amount of override to elevate new favorites into "rotation" status.
Also, during working hours, limit to loud-ass techno. Symphonies are not distracting enough. Also, many classical recordings feel the need to range in volume all the way from inaudible to deafening. Still, I suppose that's preferable to the standard pop formula of never changing volume *or* tempo *or* key, possibly over the course of an entire album. (In an extreme case, the guitarist for the Ramones only ever made two chord changes, one in 1975 and one in 1982)
