Pandora- Internet Radio

Recently I started using Pandora. It is a service that allows you to listen to free internet radio. It is amazing because it allows you to listen to what you want to hear. When you listen to normal radio they don’t know you. They don’t know what you want to hear and so when they play songs you don’t like you have to endure. No longer. With Pandora you can create various stations and tell them what sort of music you like to listen to and they play it. You can enter artist names or songs and they find music by those artists and also find music that is similar to the music you entered and play it for you.

This is a great way to find new artists to listen to and to expand your musical horizons. I love it. If it plays a song I don’t like I click the thumbs down button and it stops the song and starts playing a different one. Now I don’t have to worry about that song every again. Likewise songs that I like get the thumbs up and it keeps playing them and songs like them.

The only thing is that Pandora is radio not music on demand. Due to legal restrictions they can’t play a song you specify on demand and you can’t backtrack and listen to specific songs over again. But you can’t do that in normal radio anyway.

I think that Pandora is a great service and use it all the time to spice up my web browsing.
