Pandora In A Box
Everyone here probably already knows about Pandora.com - in this case, I suspect that I'm a late adopter. But just in case someone out there hasn't tried it yet, you'd better try it while you can. A recent FCC ruling may force it and most other internet radio stations off the air before too much longer.
What I love about Pandora is that you tell it one or more artists or songs that you like, and it picks out other songs and artists for you that it thinks that you'll like based on the music's "genome". It's not perfect, of course; mine keeps playing some annoying country songs because I told it I liked Led Zeppelin's "Hot Dog". But it has found a lot of songs that I do like, very much. Some of them are songs that I heard a long time ago, liked, but never found out who sang them; I ended up forgetting about them.
It's just a great tool. I'd hate to see it disappear.
