World of Pandora

Pandora.  Oh how I have fallen in love with Pandora.  I honestly don't even know where to begin.  I'll start by explaining what Pandora is.  Pandora is a free radio station online.  The bad thing about radio stations is you only like maybe 1 out of the 4 songs that play.  Sure you can listen to a rock station if you like rock, country if for some insane reason you like country, or just today's hits.  Still, there are plenty of songs you don't know, or even flat out don't like.  Man don't you just hate it when that happens.

Oh wait, on Pandora you can type in a band that you like.  Don't worry it doesn't just play songs from that band like a cd.  It plays songs by that band, and songs that are similar to them.  For example, If I type in Dave Matthews, it plays Dave and bands like O.A.R, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and Jack Johnson.  You can also type in more than one band on one station.  Maybe you want a radio station that is more chill music, than another time you want some good ol rock and roll.  You guessed it, you can have more than one station.  Also, you can shuffle through the difference stations, not by pressing it by hand, but just by hitting the shuffle button once, then chill out for hours and listen to non stop radio.http://www.pandora.com/corporate/

Even if you do come across a song that you don't like, instead like driving in the car you have to flip through all the radio stations to try and find another song you like, just hit the next button.  It's unreal how amazing pandora really is.  The only downside of Pandora that I have found is that you only get 4 "nexts" per hour.  I haven't even run into it much, I usually like all the music Pandora plays.  Here is the link to Pandora. http://www.pandora.com/

Pandora is a free radio.  Their slogan is "We have a single mission: to play only music you love."  You can suscribe to Pandora, but really the only change is you can next however many times you want, and you don't get a 10 second add after three songs.  Here is a site discussing the terms and agreements to subscribing.  http://blog.pandora.com/pandora/archives/2009/05/pandora-one-upg.html 

Now that you know about Pandora, the only question I have for you, is do you think Pandora will ever make it to an actual radio.  For example, do you think you can be driving down the road, listening to Pandora.
