Pandora radio

The world works in funny ways. A few days ago, I got rid of the remnants of my CD collection. All that is left is a CD box set on learning Spanish and two RnB CD's by Ginuwine, which I have kept to play as background music if needed. I'll probably get rid of these before the year is through.

I still love music but I tend to listen to the radio these days, and on this note I've just stumbled across an excellent web-site called Pandora.

Pandora is an ad-free, streaming radio website that tailors the music to your tastes. It's extremely simple to operate. Just click on 'Create a New Station', type in one of your favourite artists or the name of a track, and ummm, that's it. Pandora then uses some nifty, behind-the-scenes software to create a personalised music stream. You can add more artists to your station and create multiple stations, but that's all optional. Yahoo has a similar service, as does lifefm, but Pandora is pure magic.

AHHHHH! Pandora **is** a totally amazing website, but they have just restricted their services to US clients only. BRUTAL! I highly recommend this site, it's amazing for discovering new music!!!

That's what I thought Corina, but it's just a matter of sticking in a made-up zip code (5 digit number) and you are back in again!

Really Riz?! It tells me I have to email them to gain access so I'll try it - I didn't even think to scam it, thanks for the advice :)

It worked for me. There is also a UK site that's called LastFM in case Pandora have shut you out.
