opening pandora’s box September 11, 2006
Posted by phairoh in music.trackback
On this morning, I have made the greatest discovery in my recent forays onto the net. Not since learning about digg nearly a year ago have I found a site that will change the way I use my computer. That site, is Pandora.
Pandora has an extremely simple interface. All it is when you look at it for the first time is a small description and a flash object. Generally, I can’t stand flash interfaces, but here I can make an exception. You begin using Pandora by typing in the name of a band you like, or the name of a song you enjoy. Pandora then proceeds to create a streaming radio station based on your band or song choice. This radio station then begins to play, starting off with your selection, but then proceeding to play other similar bands and songs. You have the option to give each song a thumbs up or thumbs down in a very Tivo style voting system thereby fine tailoring the station to you.
I have already found a number of bands that I had never heard of yet I thoroughly enjoying! I have no doubt that given some more use, I will never run out of new and exciting music to listen to.
