I've seen Muru develop from earlier days, and given my background in music and technology, I can say that I've not seen an algorithm and surrounding product make as much of an impact in the way that I listen to music as Muru has. The way it selects tracks that I've not heard before, is like having a programmatic version of Spotify's Discover Weekly that I can control.
However the most interesting part of this is that I've installed Muru on my 10 year old son's iPad, and this experience speaks volumes. He loves the app, has had a lot of fun experimenting and creating playlists that morph across different genres, and it's opened his ears to music that he's never thought of enjoying before (like some jazz and older music with the "era" slider).

@justin_baird it is really great to hear about your son's experience with Muru.
It was always my hope that this could be a tool for people to be encouraged to explore new music and the fact that your son is experimenting with "era" and Jazz is amazing!
