Anyone ever hear of or use Pandora radio? I've been using it for the past couple of days and it's given me about 4 new bands I like. How it works is by "analyzing" the music you enter, it will find songs that have a similar bass line, vocals, etc. I find myself liking all the songs they suggest. You should try it out. www.Pandora.com, sorry I don't know how to link.

I use Pandora all the time, it's great. Pandora >>>>>> Last.fm For some reason lots of people like Last.fm over Pandora and I just can't tell why. The music Pandora gives me is far better then the crap Last.fm gives me.

no.

Last fm >>>>> Pandora. Even Myspace is better. Just look at a bands' top friends and they usually have some similar sounding bands.

True Last.fm as some server issues. Half the time I can't get it to play. Although I do like the profiles you can make and it keeping track of what you listen to in ITunes.

Keeping the track is good to show them off to your friends :P. But if I wanted to do just that you can use iLike.

I have a question for some Canadians. It isn't illegal for Canadians to download music, but you can't access this website? why is that. I've always been curious.blooddemon666
Maybe the government banned it, like Britain did /b/

Actually, in Canada the reason is that the US put taxes and restrictions on the site such that they could no longer afford to offer the service to Canadians, so they cancelled it. They used to have it in Canada a few years ago, though. Oh how I miss those days. :(

I tried it. It doesn't match me up with the kind of music I want. It basically selects bands that are considered to be in the same genre as the band you put in, even if the musical style is totally different.

To get the full effect out of it, make like 15 channels, and then play your quick mix.

I don't use it much anymore, but it did really "broaden my horizons"

Ditto :( But, sinca we're no longer allowed over at Pandora I have been using Musicovery. It's not 100% the same, but I really love it's interface. If you're banned from Pandora, I highly suggest it! *^_^*

Needless to say I did NOT read it that time! Only because you reminded me of it in your reply itself. . . :P
