EricJ Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 nono, not our wyrd girl, but I just ran across this fun music service that is really pretty awesome www.pandora.com basically you put in 1 song or artist you like, then it starts streaming other related songs, and you tell it if you like or dislike the songs, and it basically keeps refining a playlist for you based on your tastes. And you can have multiple ones, for different genres and such...and then you can also share yours with others. overall pretty fun, and seems like a great way to learn about new music and songs. the only problem is that it seems to be all radio cuts, so the clean version of songs.

Nathan Caroland Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Been listening to this for the better part of three hours - fantastic service and one that I think is going to be a steady stream on my computer. Good find Eric, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 hmmm, seems I was wrong about the clean edits, started a rap album, and it certainly isn't clean, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 My music tastes seem to be a bit obscure for this... :dontknow: So far I've only got some good results for Delerium, but not the first 5 names I tried. I guess that's what I get for liking non-mainstream music. :irked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdukino Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Heck, it knows Ayreon and more of my favorite music... cool (bit unexpected). Oke trying this out today. So far so good. I can't register though to have the options from that. Only US residents can. Edit: hmmm... you need to register to listen to more than 6 songs..... Oke just registered with a fake us postal code.. just hope the postal code police isn't gonna get me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauth81 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Hmmm. I entered one of my current favorites (Combichrist) and it came up with bands I already know or absolutely don´t fit. I guess for some styles, listening to a specific streamradio-station makes more sense to get to know new bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Farstrider Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Sounds interesting. Does this work well on dial-up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Sounds interesting. Does this work well on dial-up? Doesn't Qwest have DSL in your neighborhood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Farstrider Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 They do offer it. The problem is I just bought a new car and I am in the process of buying a condo. So I don't have a lot of disposable income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 :hijacked: I'm too much of an old Rock 'n' Roll hippie to keep up with all the new-fangled tunes out there. This is what I usually have on: http://www.jackontheweb.com You can stream their broadcast right over your PC. Little chatter, no DJs and a great mix of genres. [/highjack] Arg!
