Pandora: The Coolest Thing That Won't Last

Imagine a radio station that learned from you as it played songs. I've always wanted the "Tom Dalton Radio Station" -- and the magical power of the Internet has brought it to me.

http://www.pandora.com/

THE greatest Internet radio site ever created. It grew out of an academic project to identify characteristics of music that tied various songs together. If you like song A, how can we predict if you will like song B?

They stream music at super quality and the interface is as smooth and simple as you could ask for. I'm in love.

I only wish they could find a way to make the business last. I might even consider paying the $36 for a yearly subscription, if I knew they'd be around for a year.

You are awesome thanks for the link! I love this nifty little website. Judging by the fact that they have hardware affilliates and a bona-fide license to play the music, I think they'll be around for awhile!
