And finally, a new use for our beloved broadband...

... the internet discovery of the week. At least for me, seeing as y'all probably know about this already. But still, here it is: Pandora internet radio. And not simply internet radio. This is part of the "Music Genome Project" (what a weird name) - anyway, you give it the name of an artist or song you like, and it will suggest other songs and artists you might like based on strange hidden algorhythms.
For now, it seems to work right, and at the very least, it gives a pleasing background of music and songs I've not heard yet.

... although, it apparently doesn't cater to classical music lovers.

I'm going to test this out!

It's fun! I've already discovered three bands I didn't know about which I like. :D

It's a bit fickle. I asked for songs like one band and it just ended up playing that band *l*

None of these things ever do, which is ... frustrating.

To say the least.

Erm, hm. I typed in "Beck" and of all songs it spit out an obscure techno-remix... and now it's happily playing instead of folk-rock.

I'd seriously suggest you last.fm, which has even a lot of classic stuff in their players.

OK, I've followed your recommendation... and am once again hooked on prog rock. :D

[tysolna]
