Pandora

[Jeanne and Steve]

Pandora is a free internet radio station tailored exactly to your individual tastes. You tell it one of your favorite artists or songs, and it creates a station that plays similar music. I just became aware of it but have become an instant fan!

I have been using it for several months. It is great if your in the mood for your “Heart” (favorite) music. When it starts playing a best guess song within your type of music, you can mouse over the graphic and give it a thumbs up or thumbs down to train the site for what you like.

The only down side I have found is the streaming ADs and constant bandwidth usage which slows down everything else you do on the web.

A downside (for us Canucks) is this message when we go to that website:

Dear Pandora Visitor,

We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for most listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

We believe that you are in Canada...
