I came across something the other day that I am really enjoying. It’s called Pandora and it’s a personal, online radio station. What’s cool about it over others out there is that you start by picking a band or a song and Pandora will make a radio station for you from songs and artists similar to what you picked.
I had just seen Muse in concert (awesome by the way) and so my first station was Muse naturally. You can find it here. It’s really starting to know what I like and I’m not having to give songs thumbs down as much.
There are no ads, just music and I don’t think you can find that anywhere else. At least I can’t. I don’t know how they do it but the music seems to go on and on. So go check it out at www.Pandora.com and let me know what you think of it.

How does this compare to last.fm?
Unfortunately Pandora is blocked for most users in North America – apparently due to licensing constraints

Hi Phil,
I actually had not tried Last.fm until you mentioned it to me and I downloaded it yesterday. I feel like Pandora plays a better selection of music that I like but Last.fm has a much bigger user base and so once I listen for longer and get my tastes the way I like it, it might be good. I do like Last.fm’s downloadable player. That is really cool. I do find it hard to really customize a station like I can with Pandora. Maybe I’m not used to it enough but I’ll try it again today.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for reading
Justin
