Free Music

If you like music, especially free customized to your listening tastes music, then you should check out Pandora.com. It's a free radio station that allows you to customize your radio stations to fit your music tastes. You type in a band or a particular song you like and the system will create a music feed that have the same qualites of that band or song. As your listening to the music you can give it either a thumbs up or thumbs down. The site takes that info and can fine tune your station even more.

What makes this all possible is something called the Music Genome Project. Basically Pandora has lots of people listening to music and cataloging all the musical traits of a band or song.

The cost is free. All you have to put up with are the ads on the site and maybe a few commercials between your songs.

Right now I have several stations going on. My favorite is The Rentals and Cake station.
