Your very own personalised internet radio station

Ever thought it would be nice to have your own free personal internet radio station where you program the playlist? Something you can sit back and listen to an uninterrupted stream of good music. With no ads and no stupid commentator talking over the music.

And why stop there? How about throwing in an intelligent engine that analyses your music taste to suggest other music that you’ll probably like …and then learns according to your feedback?

Sounds to good to be true but that is exactly what Pandora does. Pandora is the result of the Music Genome Project and it is very very cool.

From their website:

Pandoraâ„¢ is the doorway to this vast trove of musical information. With Pandora you can explore to your heart’s content. Just drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into Pandora and let the Genome Project go. It will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings – new and old, well known and completely obscure – to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you.

You can create as many “stations” as you want. And you can even refine them. If it’s not quite right you can tell it more and it will get better for you.
