I don't think I have ever been this excited about music before: http://www.pandora.com/
This website is the future. I sear to God in a few months everyuone's going to want to get an account here. Children, Senior Citizens, That poor shmoe with the same zip code as the random numbers I submitted in my profile to get past the 'US residents only' rule.
It's just one of those great, simple ideas:
A bunch of guys came up with a way of describing music, then they put it all into a big database so...
You type in the name of a song or band you like, and it picks out random music that sounds similar and builds you a custom made radio station. amnd if it ever comes up with a song you don't like; you can heckle it and banish all music that sounds like it from your account forever! Bwahaha!
It's just genius...It will change the world.
here's my station: http://www.pandora.com/?sc=sh147868813412780842
Now show me yours! tee hee!
Hmmm, I remember a similar thread. And I remember people saying that while the first couple of returned hits for your query were indeed uncanny, soon enough down the line you got really disappointed...
...anyway. Sounds cool.
yes, I remember the old thread too, in fact, I started it... Pandora was cute... but most of the songs turned out to be crap, and it made my connection very slow, so... and I have all the music I want on my computer
