Opening Pandora's Box
There is a new and very cool internet radio site called Pandora (http://www.pandora.com) that came out of the Music Genome Project which has created an algorithm that allows you to choose what you listen to based on your preferences. I know other people have done this before, but this one is miles beyond what has come before. You sign up and click on the Create a New Station button and allows you to type in a song or band that you like and it creates a radio station of songs by that artist and similar to that artist or song. It will then show you what is playing and you give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down. A thumbs down means that you will never hear that band on that station ever again. You can set up multiple radio stations as eclectic as you want and even create Quick mixes where you choose what radio stations play music randomly. My mix is crazy eclectic because I am all over the place. You can even set things up to broadcast to cell phones,share your mixes with friends and broadcast using wireless I believe. It's the only on line radio station I listen to now. Check it out!
