Pandora.com (try this shit out)

[Blackfox]

Revision time is here, so for thousands of kids around the UK it means one thing - spending half your time on your PC in a vain attempt to fend off boredom and doing any real work.

In this rut? Try this: www.pandora.com (Best viewed in IE).

This was recommended to me by Mike, admin of Woosel (www.woosel.com), and I've been giving it a whirl - some pretty good tunes have this eminated from my computer's speakers thus far.

Note: This wont help revision, might stave off the boredom though ;)

[The fish]

Looks cool, it's a nice idea too.
I may use this tommorow while revising...

[Sexual Chocolate]

Pleasantly impressed by it, some good tunes from unheard bands.

A US zip code if you registering

14513

[Shino]

This was exactly what I was looking for.

[Platty]

I tell you whats also very good if you go to www.nme.com and listen to NME radio... no adverts just non stop quality music.

[Dan Dare]

I fucking hate that magazine. I'm hesitant to let their website foul the waters of my beutiful computer....

on another note: Pandora seems cool but it just handed me some american highway rock. shit.

[mario114]

Very cool :D

even cooler it lets you buy the music from itunes.

[The Peeps]

Nice find, I'll probably put this in my favourites

[Dan Dare]

Ok Pandora just picked up. after a splash of 'thieves like us' from New Order (class!) it sent me a bit of a band called 'Vapours'. some kind of electro outfit. ace.

I typed in Talking Heads as my starting point.

NME.. quality music.. *faints*

[Bluejay]

Great site but as old as Jesus. Good of you to spread the word to those unintiated to the joys of Pandora though.

[Jack]

Pandora keeps trying to recommend Dinosaur Jr to me. It's obviously total shit.

[Shorty]

I've been using this for a long time, it's pretty good.

People criticising it should realise its made mostly from other people's responses. If the majority of people who like your favourite band also like x, x is suggested to you. It's quite simple and usually works.

The site's pretty old though, hardly a revelation ;)

[DiemetriX]

I like it. But It's hard to make a list which only plays the music i like >_<

[Tom]

i use last.fm to find new music, but i'll give this a go and see whats its like.
if anyone wants to try last.fm, just click my sig.

I like it. But It's hard to make a list which only plays the music i like >_<

I put snow patrol in and it seems quite good so far.

[Tom]

so far I have tried The Mars Volta, and it's given me 4 mars volta tracks, 1 An Albatross track (NB - these guys are amazing, i saw them this weekend, and am going to see them again on monday, anyone in birmingham on monday should go!), 1 wolfmother track, and so far only one track from an artist I didn't already like, GoGoGo Airheart.

But, since i liked the track, pandora has suceeded. go pandora!

[The Bard]

Haha, awesome, they have Behemoth...\m/ \m/

[Mundi]

Haha, awesome, they have Behomoth...\m/ \m/

[The Bard]

Argh...I spelt Behemoth wrong...

Aanywho...Everything I've entered has lead me to....Manowar lol...

"Heavy Metal Or No Metal At All
Wimps And Posers Leave The Hall"

Just you saying that and you signature makes me want your babies :Þ

[arab_freak]

I tried it 6 months ago, didn't look like something too special. :S

[AshMat]

I put ion blibk182, it came up with "Down" By BLin182 as a similarity...

[blastoff2k]

[The Bard]

Just you saying that and your signature makes me want your babies :Þ


Im good for that....:heh: Nice to see that there are some genuine metal fans here though! \m/

And If we all were not all Brothers of Metal....Would we fall? NO! :heh:.

[Stefkov]

a friend told me about this quite a long time ago. typed in some bands i lie, none of the apparent "relations" were any good.

[fatnickc]

I've been using this for quite a while now and it's built up a big knowledge of what I like and don't like, so now it's very rare that I get a bad song.

[Cube]

Tried: "Angels and Airwaves" and "Angels & Airwaves"..

its neve heared of them. Stupid thing.

[The Bard]

^ Believe me, It's a good thing.

*Listens to Nile...\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/*

[Platty]

Dont believe him, he is wrong.

Just buy it... £8 on Play.com ;)

[DiemetriX]

My friend MckacK has done it again :D

Pandora prog for windows http://www.kimpix.net/pandora/pandora.rar
Next version will include minimize to tray :)

[Athriller]

Yeah, Pandora's good but I find it exhausts itself too easily.

A site I go to for my share fair of music: http://www.epitonic.com/. I only listen to the Indie rock side of the radio, and I really recommend it.

[DiemetriX]

"Minimize to tray" version is out on the same location :D
