Pandora Radio

For those of you who are unaware of the Music Genome Project, allow me to enlighten you! Pandora Radio is Free Internet Radio that is part of the Music Genome Project. Maybe you've heard of the Human Genome Project...the project that scientists have been working on for years, trying to document each aspect of our human genes. Well, that's the idea with the Music Genome Project: they group music together based on the same beat, harmonies, vocal sounds, etc. You can create your own stations (as many as you like). All you do is type in the song title or artist name of your fancy and it creates a station based on the genetics of that particular artist or song. Your radio station can constantly be sculpted to perfection by adding more artists, telling Pandora you don't like a particular artist or song (they'll never play it again!), and telling it you are tired of a particular song and it won't play for a month. There are many more wonders associated with Pandora, but these are just a particular few. I encourage all of you to try it out! You can log into your own set of stations from any computer with Internet, and switch around your stations as much as you like. I myself have 11 stations that are each unique, and I create/delete them pretty regularly. Go forth and enjoy Pandora!
