07 Jul 06 - 09:29 PM (#1778645) Subject: Pandora Internet Radio From: Matt_R Have any of you folks tried this? It's really one of the best music-related things on the Internet. It works on a personal level ... you tell Pandora what artist you want to hear, and it plays songs by that artist and those who have a similar sound, which becomes a little personalized radio station. If it plays some stuff you don't like, you can tell it to not play stuff like that, and conversely if you hear something you really like, you can tell it to play more things similar to that particular style. Previously, I've only tried more rock & roll-related music (Belle & Sebastian, The Divine Comedy) but tonight I made a Ralph McTell-related station tonight and so far I've gotten stuff by him, Incredible String Band, Martin Carthy, Nick Drake, Stan Rogers and Bert Jansch. Good stuff. It's free too. Damn this sounds like an advertisement, but oh well, I love it. a href="www.pandora.com">www.pandora.com |

Told my son about it earlier this year and he nearly flipped out over how kewl it is. Thanks for the reminder, Nathan! Good to *see* you. kat |

No matter how many times I tell Pandora that my listening taste is different I continue to be rusbied at the next visit. Pandora is a transatlantic Yorkshire conspiracy; I'm certain of it. |

12 Jul 06 - 11:49 AM (#1781846) Subject: RE: Pandora Internet Radio From: Bill D all very interesting....but if I get what I WANT on the first try, it then goes off at whatever angle it chooses for succeeding songs, some very nice, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't tell me what I am hearing. I saw a link to Roscoe Holcomb, and played something by him....then it was followed by some nice guitar player with no clue as to whom. Interesting, but frustrating. |
