Wouldn't you just love to have a radio station that played only the music you like? Even better -- how about 20, 50, 100, or 500 radio stations, one for each mood you're in or atmosphere you want?
I just discovered a web site that does a remarkably good job at doing exactly that: Pandora.
As I write this post, I'm listening to a piano piece by George Winston (a modern jazz pianist). A few hours ago, I created my own George Winston radio channel; it plays only songs that are similar to those that George Winston plays. Every song played is one that I enjoyed, and is pleasant for me to work while listening to. Something like half of the songs I heard were new to me, by artists I'd never heard of (but my radios station told me who they were!). I love this radio station!
What did I have to do to create it? Here's exactly what I did: I typed (get ready now, this is really complicated and challenging) "George Winston". Oh, and then I clicked on the button. That's it!
Did I mention that this web site is free? There is a subscription service, which looks very useful if you want to download music into your iPod, cell phone, or similar "on the go device" -- but the basic service, playing on your personal computer, is absolutely free.
Amazing!
