I just came across a pretty cool site for music lovers. It is called Pandora. Based on results from the Music Genome Project, you enter a song or artist that you like, and Pandora creates a customized, streaming radio station for you with songs it thinks you’ll like. You can then help guide Pandora by rating the songs it picks, playing more songs like the current one, and adding artists that you think would be appropriate for the station. Pandora then updates the station on the fly. Pretty cool!! The interface is pretty slick too with album art, etc. I was pretty impressed with the “Versus Station” that it created for me (though playing Versus songs in the Versus station is kind of cheating). Seems like a great way to find new songs and bands based on your current musical tastes. I can only imagine that the stations will become even more interesting and pointed as more music is added and more people provide feedback. Try it out and let me know what you think (oh yeah, it’s free too).
