Internet radio

[Clugnut]

I'm sure all you tech nerds would know about something like this, but for everyone else I thought I'd share. I'm listening to streaming radio right now from something called Pandora. You go to the site (pandora.com) and enter in a band you like. It then build you a radio station and plays stuff you would like commercial free for free!

I've been listening for an hour, entering in "Foo Fighters" for the band. The selections have been awesome! If you don't like a song, you can reject it and it will not play it again.

Thought I would post this because its a great idea, and is worth a listen.

I love pandora.

You got me all excited, only to realize that due to some licensing agreement, they cannot play anything in Canada. Oh well, it was worth a shot

Love pandora!!! when my son was working with me this summer he would get pandora on his iphone, use his fm transmitter, and we would have a combination of gorillaz and marley on the jobsite boom box.

Did not know about this site. I tried it last night.

THANKS Pandora is so Kooool

I am impressed. My favorite artists not are played regularly on traditional radio and certainly not on the same station. Johnny Winter, Billie Holiday, J. Geils, Devo, Cassandra Wilson, Maria Muldaur, Artie Shaw, Elvis Costello, The Andrew Sisters, Joan Jett,and Patsy Cline for example. Now,These guys are just a click away for me. And I can put them all in one playlist and I can let the site jump from one genra to another surprising me with the next artist.

I repeat. SO VERY KOOOOOL

Pandora is very cool. Keep in mind that internet radio can be a network bandwidth hog.

True but try and find an "over the air" radio station that plays Leon Redbone.
