Anyone else listen to Pandora internet radio?
I hadn't heard about it until sometime last year when everyone at Adobe started listening to it while at work... I gave it a try and now listen to it daily!
It works by taking a particular song that you like, and it plays all songs similar to that particular song, and it works really well too, it has yet to let me down.

Can you recommend any other good internet radio sites with the same type of overall setup as pandora?
Also, anyone down for a BAIC music swap?

Just listen to one of your fav artists and it'll let you listen to a bunch of similar artists, if you liek what you hear, try checking out the album =). Great way to get into some new music and bands.

Damn, I have the station set to "Unsere rettung", which is by a band called "Oomph!", and this ROCKS!!!
I've found so many good bands that I had never heard of thanks to Pandora.
If you're a hard metal or speed metal fan, check out that particular station. Some of the songs are kinda weird, but you can just skip over them, otherwise there are some GREAT songs on this channel!![Big Grin](https://www.i-club.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
EDIT: I just switched to the channel "System F", which as you know is one of the most amazing trance artists on earth, so if you like trance, this is the station for you!!!

Now if they only set it up so that you could buy songs that appeared on your playlist... Not sure if they have that capability but it would be pretty damn cool, especially if they made it cheaper then i-tunes ($1 a song is pretty cheap, but ads up like crazy! lol)
I was serious about the BAIC music swap, if anyone is interested in swapping some music, post up and we can make it happen. Of course we'll follow all laws and regulations

Slacker Radio (www.slacker.com), Same basic idea as Pandora. Although I find that the user interface is a little bit easier to figure out and Slacker seems to have more songs than Pandora. Pandora will have all the popular songs from any given artist, Slacker will have the entire discography of any given artist. And best of all Slacker doesn't have any limits on how long you can listen for.
Slacker also offers a Portable device that you can get and you can listen to Slacker radio like you would on an .mp3 player.

Yeah, I know, the 40 hour thing def sucks, but I don't usually listen to it more then 40 hours per week, but there are times where do exceed it and it sucks, so I just switch to my extensive MP3 collections of various music from classical to punk, and everything in between.

I listen to Pandora in my car almost every day when I'm driving to/from work (unless I have a new CD). Since my commute is only about 10 minutes, I haven't run over the limit yet. Unfortunately at work these days, I'm too busy to listen to music anymore.
