Pandora is the world’s best internet radio website. You decide what kind of music to listen to by giving it the name of a song or artist that you like. Pandora uses the Music Genome Project to select a set of songs that sound like the artist/song that you picked.
As you listen to each song, you can give it a thumbs up if you like it, giving Pandora a better idea of exactly what kind of music you’re in the mood for, or a thumbs down to stop the song immediately and skip to the next one. You can also bookmark a song or artist so that you can come back later and buy that song from Amazon or iTunes.
Their iPhone app is really impressive as well. It feels very much like the built-in media player, but it gives you access to all the functionality from the website. The streaming quality is excellent, with gaps being rare to non-existent.
It’s an amazing free service. Give it a try if you haven’t already; you’ll almost certainly find something you like.
