Listening to Raven’n’Blues show<\/a> from BFBS<\/a> I learned about Pandora<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pandora is a result of Music Genome Project. Basically, what they do is analyze a lot of music for rythms, instruments, vocals, and a whole lot of other criterias and then help you find the music that you like.<\/p>\n

Excellent science project with perfect end user appliance. You get a single box to fill in – write the band or album that you like and you’ll get a whole bunch of music that matches your taste. I’ve been playing around it for half a day only and I have to say that it works out great. Maybe my taste is too simple though. But anyway, I’ve heard many songs that I’ve heard before as well as a lot of new stuff.<\/p>\n

You don’t even have to register to try it out for an hour or so. If you’ll listen for longer, it will ask you to create an account, which is as simple as giving your email address, adding a password, and specifying your birth year (you can lie, ma). They also aks for a ZIP code, which is USA specific, but you can always use the Beverly Hills’ 90210.<\/p>\n

Enjoy! Let it be my Christmas present to all of you.<\/p>\n

Update<\/ins>: You can also save your favourites to a list, share your stations, and do a lot of other cool stuff. My favourites page is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
