Steering for Unstructured Media Stations

The present technology pertains to steering a playlisting service toward media items that are likely to receive positive feedback from a user operating a client device. The present technology permits a request to play media items without requiring an input context. A playlist service can begin to receive feedback on the playback of the media items and the received playback can be utilized by a steering service in response to a steering request to identify media items for playback that are likely to receive positive feedback based on the feedback received on a sequence of previously played media items.
