Spawned from the Music Genome project, after a five week prerelease, Pandora in finally open to the public. it is a player where you can choose an artist you like and it finds similar selections and opens up a standalone player and selects tracks for you. allegedly it is free for the first 10 hours and already i have a ton of new artists i NEED that i've never head before...mixed in with some of my existing favorites. a great companion to a morning of busywork! hint: type in "vitalic" and you get a lot of good music.
since i'm a picky music snob, i'm always very skeptical of this type of thing, but it has been DEAD ON so far. nifty. like i need to buy more music now. ;)
i know there are ways you can do this yourself and through itunes, but it is great to have a dj seemingly linked to your brain while you're working...so thrilled to be finding lots of new stuff.
