Pandora

I found this most excellent website today! I like listening to the radio, but I seriously dislike all the interuptions and such. I haven't found "internet radio" stations to be a lot different at times. This site allows you to customize the music you would like to listen to, as well as a particular genre. They take your settings and play music by the same author or style and continue playing it. And you can create different kinds of stations, as well.

It has great features like "forward" if you don't want to listen to a particular song. If you create a "station" and find that the music isn't exactly what you were looking for, there's a button that says, "Hey, that's not what I wanted to hear!" You can skip songs you don't want to listen to, and if you hear a particular song that you really don't like, you can give it the "thumbs down" and it says it will never play it again!

It's a little more like having a huge jukebox with just about any kind of music you'd like to hear! Try it out! You might really like it as much as I do!

Oh cool.

Yahoo Messenger offers something similar that I use. I'm curious as to if there is a limit there at Pandora on the amount of skips you can use.

Unless you upgrade, yahoo limits ya. :-p I'm gonna check that out!

*hugs*

Have a superlicious weekend!

They said there was a limit of so many per hour, but it took me a lot of skips to reach that limit! I ended up just creating another station for the kind of music I felt like listening to at that time. I have 4-5 different "stations" right now.
