Pandora.com - Listen to the music you want

Don't you wish you could find a radio station that only plays the music you want to hear? What about commercial free? Well, wish no more music lovers, Pandora.com is here.

Pandora's mission: "To play music you'll love - and nothing else."

And they do it well. You start by entering your favorite artist. Then, "Tt will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings - new and old, well known and completely obscure - to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you."

As each song plays, you can give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. If you down it, it doesn't play again. It also tweaks your station according to what you tell it you like and dislike.

You can create as many "stations" as you want. And you can even refine them. If it's not quite right you can tell it so and it will get better for you.

If you sit in front of a computer for a good amount of time and are looking for a good music feed, give this a try. I have even found myself turning it on at home and cranking the volume.
