anybody listen to internet radio?

[Jeremy]

one of the guys at work turned me on to pandora.com

pretty cool for a free radio site. pretty clever system, type in the name of an artist you are fond of and it plays a bunch of related music. if you dont like a song you can end it and it wont play it again.

That is the coolest effin thing ever.
Thanks for showing it to us.

I've been using Pandora for a while I am fairly impressed with all the music it has

I think this came up like, a couple years ago or something.

But yeah, it rocks. Some good unknowns on there too.

Neighbor just told me about it yesterday, haven't tried it yet...sounds cool though. We have the bandwidth police at work so not sure how much I'll get to use it, 'cept after 5.

Its come along way since I started using it a couple years ago. Back then it was notorious for playing music that was completely out side of the 'genome' of the band/song you had selected. They have really worked on it though, I use it all the time.

Pandora might be a gonner... http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080818-pandora-cant-make-money-may-pull-the-plug.html

Too bad, such a great project.

:-\ Seems that there have been more ads recently, trying to help funding...

Big Media is just not getting the hint: People don't want crappy music that costs lots of money. I can't think of the last thing I heard on the radio that I liked... oh wait-- it's a toss up between "4 Minutes" by Justin Timberlake/Madonna, and "I Kissed a Girl" by the luscious Katy Perry, and look at just how awesome THOSE two picks are.

Screw the radio, and screw Sound Exchange for f'ing up a good thing. There were lots of bands on Pandora I'd never heard of that I kind of liked.

Radiohead's last album, which I really like, was released for free, and they are making most of their money on sales of the bonus disc and touring. I'd pay money to see a band, live, and buy a shirt or something. I'd pay to download their album even! But F**K ALL if I'm paying $18 for a $8 disc at Borders or something. The business model is going to have to change, and thank God for torrents to start forcing their hands.

Wonder if they'd sell it... :greg: AdSense relating to bands/music/tour dates? Perhaps limit folks to 2 hrs of music for a couple bucks? Create a subscriber setup, charging by the amount of time folks listen. Hell, even open it up for donations... if people like something, they will support it. I bet if they changed their platform a bit it could make money.

The RIAA sure likes to kill anything that gives people an option to dling music for free.
