A friend of mine showed it to me awhile back but I'd forgotten about it until just recently. I just thought I'd share.

It has something to do with the so-called Music Genome project, but basically you pick a song/band and it takes that song and then finds other artists/songs of similar styles/tonal quality/genres etc. and plays songs that fit that discription. No label preferences or chart priority. I'm finding all kinds of music I never I liked. It's pretty friggin awesome.

Never heard of it.
















Except for the 3 other threads in the off-topic forum about it.

Well, all the more reason for you to check it out. It will allow you to create different stations based on different song types, up to a hundred if you're registered, and it's free. You can upgrade apparently, and you don't get ads, but I've been listening for the past 2 hours and haven't heard an ad yet, so I dunno.

It's well deserving of a FOURTH thread!!! even from the search-function challenged.

When you're right, you're right. I suppose if anything is worthy of 4 threads, it's Pandora.com.
