Pandora Radio, The Coolest Thing Since…

You could say that Pandora Radio is the second coming of radio. Well, I’m going to step out on a limb and say just that. While Sirius and XM are planning their merger, Internet Radio is slowly creeping onto the scene as a main captivator of music junkies like myself.

During the work day, I spend endless hours on my computer and therefore always have my 3000+ song itunes library on shuffle. But now after being exposed to Pandora Radio, I will keep my itunes in hibernation.

Pandora is an automated music recommendation and Internet radio service created by The Music Genome Project. Users enter a song or artist that they enjoy, and the service responds by playing selections that are musically similar. Users provide feedback on the individual song choices — approval or disapproval — which Pandora takes into account for future selections.

While listening, users are offered the ability to buy the songs or albums at Amazon.com or iTunes Store. Over 400 different musical attributes (see List of Music Genome Project attributes) are considered when selecting the next song. These 400 attributes are combined into larger groups called focus traits. There are 2,000 focus traits.

MSN Radio stations now run off Pandora.com and use Pandora accounts rather than Windows Live IDs.

It’s both Free and Functional so take a chance and try it out for yourself!
