The future of online radio

Everyone of us has probably listened to online radio at least once. Although online radios offer a much better variety than ordinary radio stations I still find it a bit boring after a while because they’re just not playing the right songs. I stumbled across this new online radio the other day, called Pandora. So what does Pandora differently? Pandora tries to create your personal radio station based on one of your favourite songs or artists. It then matches the musical patterns of this artist against other artists in its database. The songs you get to hear then should be pretty much the same style as the one you entered in the beginning. So the chances are good that you might even like them. I’ve tried it a few times and it worked surprisingly well. So if you have a fast broadband connection and like music you should definitely give it a try. Oh, and did I mention that it’s for free?
