| Hey guys,
A while back I was asking for help finding some new rock. I had mentioned that I used to listen to a lot of internet radio, and a lot of folks expressed some interest in that.
Anyhow, I've found, bar none, the coolest internet radio station. In case you haven't heard of it, www.pandora.com . The idea is it creates a custom radio station for you. You start by picking a song or artist you like, then, it starts playing other songs it thinks you'll like. As you hear songs, you can rate them "I liked it"// "I didn't like it" and slowly but surely, it will tweak the station more and more to your liking.
It's /really/ nifty, and anyone who's bored or just looking to hear new music should really check it out.

| Pandora is a really great site. I hope it sticks around for a long time to come.
I really hope some big corporation doesn't ruin it by buying it and changing what's great about it. | |

| I have particular tastes, and I'm not fond of wasting my time listening to things that people think I'll like--in part, because I might really like one song on an album, or one artist in a genre. But, Pandora is doing an amazing job at finding things I like but didn't know existed.
You've improved my life Diomedes. Thanks.

| | Well, I've been playing with it a bit and have been getting mixed results. Maybe my tastes are a bit too selective. The problem I'm running into is I tend to like certain bands, but not other bands who produce similar music. However, it's interesting enough to keep playing with it. | |

| Wow this was a necro post ;)
Yeah, the RIAA... I'd get started on them, but I'm too busy getting angry at other things in my life to rant about them at the moment. Suffice is to say that they've got an ... interesting... business model. Trent Reznor has had some great things to say about them recently. | |
