I am a music freak. I have over 10,000 songs on my ipod, and love listening to live concerts streamed from Archive.org . One of the things that I like to do with my ipod is do a random song selection, so I can get a kind of radio station listening experience from my music. The only problem with this is that I have so many different styles of music. I also really love to listen to music online, while I am at work. I don’t know why I prefer it to plugging in my ipod, but I do.

Well today I stumbled upon Pandora Radio . This site can only be described as revolutionary. They say that they have created a “Music Genome Project” where they have related all different aspects of music artists, songs, bands, ect into relationships. When you bring up the online player, you can type in a artist that you are interested in. I typed in Phish and a Phish song was displayed to me. The songs after that are selected to what I might like based on my first artists selection. You can also rate if you liked or disliked the selection. This makes your customized radio station even more fine tuned to your listening tastes. The best thing about this too is that I now can expand my listening tastes, because Pandora will select new artists that they think I will like, based on my habits.

I think I might have found a web site that really has made a impact on me.
