Pandora Radio

If you've never tried out Pandora Radio. Do it now! www.pandora.com If you like music, this is definitely a website for you.
Here's the deal... Similar to the mapping of the human genome, they've mapped the music genome. Great concept. They've broken up as much music as they can into categories based on the lyrics, tempo, etc. Read more about the Music Genome Project here. http://www.pandora.com/mgp.shtml
When you get to the Pandora website, you'll have to create a free account. In the Create a Station box, type in one of your favorite artists or songs. Pandora will start a station based off that entry. You can leave the station as is or add additional artists that you like to create a good variety to your station. Also, if a song comes on that you absolutely hate, give it the thumbs down and it won't be played anymore.
This is a great opportunity to hear new artists and new music that you might not necessarily hear. And another great feature. If you like a certain song or artist, flag them. In your profile you can select those songs and buy them through Amazon.
You can also connect with friends and family and share your stations and artists.
Enjoy.
