DamanC Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Fancy finding yourself new music suitable to your tates then http://www.pandora.com/ is for you. Simply put in a song or artist that you like and Pandora.com will quickly find a tune very similar or the same as the tune that you had entered and play it to you. Simple as that. God i sound like a salesman try it out, i was impressed http://www.pandora.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamAhead Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Fantastic find!!! using as i write this. Got 3 stations at the mo: Nirvana / Mr.Scruff / Marilyn Manson. Will add some more soon. Not sure that uk can sign up to it, as it says for US only in small print Otherwise can only use for 10 hours then thats it grrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Thats pretty cool. Its very good at finding songs that were musically very similar but I found that 90% of what it selected to play had annoyingly generic American rock style vocals (a'la NIckleback / Puddle of Mudd etc). Good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Absolutely brilliant! This is going to cost me a lot of money in music purchases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamAhead Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Just a note: I sent Pandora an email if we can sign up to the service over here after the 10hour trial is up. They replied back with: We are still working on getting Pandora to other countries. Its a matter of licensing. Audio content streaming over the internet is regulated differently from country to country. Europe is one of our main priorities in expanding right now. There is no set date as to when this will happen, but we are definitely aware of the high demand, so keep checking back! Vic @ Pandora ................................................................................................ Thought this might be the case as MusicMatch has "Music On Demand" but thats only for US as well, booooooo Darn UK regulations. :thumbdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 It's madness on the part of the record companies, I've "discovered" loads of new groups through Pandora, it's a tool they should be supporting, not restricting, it helps sales but I guess they just see it as a means for people to listen to their music for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
