Pandora - great music.

I was reading about Pandora over at TechCrunch a while back, and only gave it a cursory glance before.

It is a service that will take a list of songs and artists that you like, and utilize a database of songs to create a streaming playlist of both the songs you entered, and songs that follow the same style. It gets better and better at making suggestions for new songs as you continue listening. Each time a song comes up, you can give it a thumbs up or down, to help Pandora further refine your listening style.

For some reason or another I gave Pandora another chance. Aside from the flash interface being a moderate pain in linux, I have grown really fond of the interface.

I have never used last.fm before, but i'll probably stick with pandora for a while.

I love pandora, it's a great way to find out new artists that play similar styles of music to the ones you like.

Though I don't use it much at work or at home, I still find it one of the best free music resources available.

When I finally have some time on my hands to play around, I will definitely play around with Pandora - if anything, just because it's a neat little Flash-app.

Especially useful since Rhapsody's website doesn't work for Firefox 1.5 in Linux (yet). Thanks for introducing it to me!

No problem. I've been trying to be more agressive in blogging lately, to get back to my previous posting levels.

Thanks for commenting, since it keeps me motivated.
