My wife turned me onto this...type in an artist name and it builds you a streaming radio station around that type of music...sounds great, no lag, FREE, no downloads, no plug ins...takes 3 seconds and your off...

definititely recommend for you office junkies like me!

http://www.pandora.com/

Oh GOD yes. Pandora was pretty much the only thing that kept me sane after my last job started cracking down on the intarwebs and blocked everything from icanhascheezburger to bored@work - along with the radio-station websites that I would use to stream music from. Apparently they took up too much of the bandwidth >.> but pandora doesn't count as streaming because of some way the program works. Whoooo, loophole!

I found Pandora a couple years ago. As it became more popular they canceled service for Canadians!!!

I was outraged! Its a brilliant site though.

Thanks for kicking this back to the top of my "need to try that" stack. http://www.last.fm/ works in a similar vein...

That is a great site! I have tried others that worked on the same concept but they never seemed to put together the right music. This one seems to be finding exactly the right mix. Thanks for the post!

perfect for people sick of listening to the Same 400 songs on their iPod

Drygioni · March 18, 2008, 01:13:03 AM

it has been pretty dead on for the most part...my radiohead station has muse, NIN, Interpol, some smashing pumpkins, etc etc, all which i like...

right now im listening to a My Chemical Romance station...its been playing fall out boy, the used, rise against, etc - it all makes sense.

...then it plays "Glamorous" by Fergie LOL....erm....wtf?

Drygioni · March 19, 2008, 01:16:45 PM

Ok Arc try this one. This was my "go to" pandora channel. I found a tonne of new bands that I now listen to regularly.

type in:

"Super Furry Animals"

hope you like.
