Pandora is an internet radio that automatically recommends music based on your favorite song or artists you request to listen to.  It’s like having your own personalized radio; not to mention, it’s FREE.  It plays a stream of music similar to your current or previous selection.   According to Pandora you can “explore this vast trove of music to your heart’s [desire].”  You can create your own radio or a “new station” by dropping one of your preferences; favorite titles or names.  Then the Music Genome Project scans over 400 attributes (a list of attributes M.G.P. uses to classify music) with similar rhythm, vocal, and instrumental aptitude, and more.

Also, as of this year, July 11, Pandora’s mobile software can be found on the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch through the iTunes App Store.

Options

Pandora surveys your taste by asking for you feedback of whether you approve or disapprove of the song or title recommended.  You can respond by giving a Thumbs up (I like this) or Thumbs down (I don’t like this).

Watch out for these restrictions

· You cannot Rewind or Repeat
· You are only allowed six skips per hour (includes thumbs down response, although you can change the song by refreshing the player)
· The songs continue play whether or not you are listening to the station
