Pandora: The Music Genome Project

[mikael]

I recently decided to start using Pandora to listen to music (Minus my J-music collection, which is decidedly absent from their listings, but I can't win it all). It's a wonderful little site, because it's completely free and essentially gives you radio stations of your favorite music. I just embedded it into my iGoogle page, but for those of you who want to give it a shot (You don't have to sign up; you can create channels on the fly):

Anybody have thoughts on this? I've really been enjoying it.

I prefer Pandora over iTunes when I'm listening to music while online. At first I got songs that I didn't particularly care for, but after a while of rejecting the songs I didn't like, the channels reflect my taste in music pretty well. Although it seems like every single channel wants to give me Dashboard Confessional songs at first.

I definitely recommend it, but it does take a while to make a channel that'll give you songs you really like the majority of the time, in my experience.

Yeah, I get a lot of Dashboard confessional, and my station is mostly metal.

Just gotta hit the thumbs down button a lot. xD

last.fm is much better imo, but they're both alright

last.fm is more convenient, but pandora's fun to play around with. :3

Pandora plays music like what I like, rather than just what I like. This is a bit of a flaw.

Moving to Other Sites ^_^

Personally, I like Pandora, though.
