Would you like to be more adventurous in your music taste, is your cd collection a bit uninspiring? This has to be one of the most exciting web sites I have seen in a long time, it will introduce you to new artists based on the type of music you love now. For example I am a fan of Pink Floyd, so I type in Pink Floyd and the guys at Pandora let me listen free of charge to other music similar in its genome to the Floyd.
Try it, you will love it! Go on, be adventurous.
