So I was hanging out at a friends house the other day when I was introduced to this new website called Pandora. What pandora is is basically an online radio station that allows you to play music that you like. The way that it works is you chose an artist that you like and from there the program determines the type of music that you’re into. If it plays something you don’t like than you can tell it you don’t like the song it’s playing and it can narrow down what you’re into. The more you listen and filter out what you don’t like the more it plays only things you do like.
Now being someone who listens to music all the time, an Ipod just isn’t enough. Sometimes I want to listen to music and not have to worry about what I’m going to play next or not knowing what i want to play next aswell. You can put your Ipod on shuffle ( randomly play songs) but you will never hear something new. Pandora gives you a chance to listen to new music that you probably like and find out information on the artist playing. Many people have probably heard about this website but if you haven’t its definately worth checking out. What’s even more convenient is that you can listen to the radio station on the go if you have access to the internet on your phone or in your car.
With so many useless things around these days it’s good to see that someone out there decided to create a free and easy way to access music. By far I would have to say that this is the best way to do radio. XM is simply outdated and a waste of money especially when what you really want to listen to is easily accessed through this website.

That sounds cool. Fascinating, indeed, I think. I did not know about Pandora. It is almost like yahoo launch which has videos instead of songs. It also links songs that you may like depending on your taste. To be honest, I do not listen to the radio a lot, I should but I do not. One recommendation, if you are drive buy sirus is a satellite stereo. It is like having cable on your car. It has a lot of stations that do not have ads.
