One, to be precise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\">Still, the idea of determining music tastes based on demographic data sounds rather restrictive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\">Just because I\u2019m a 35-year-old male from the UK, it doesn\u2019t mean I like Norah Jones.
