I LOVE Pandora!
If you haven’t heard of it out before, go to www.pandora.com and check it out. The idea behind Pandora is to kind of build your own (commercial free) radio station. When you start a new station, it asks you to identify “seed” artists or songs, and then Pandora’s search engine matches songs or artists that have similar characteristics.
But it doesn’t stop there. You can tell Pandora whether you like a song it chose for you or not so that it can continue to tailor your likes and dislikes for that station. You can also flag artists or songs, get more information about them (the Backstage feature), or create a new station based on that new song Pandora chose. I think you can create as many stations as you like. There are other features I haven’t even explored yet, but I LOVE it. I’ve discovered a ton of new music with Pandora.
