Trust me, you will LOVE the link in this post!!!

DISCLAIMER : I DO NOT WORK FOR ANY ONE OR ANY COMPANY AFFILIATED WITH THE LINK I AM POSTING.

Have you guys seen Pandora ?

Enter in an artist or song you like and it will play other music you may like as well. It is a great find for the audiophile who wants to discover new artists…

After a while they require you to register, but it is free.

Take a peek, and don’t forget to post to tell me how cool the site, and I by extension, are! :wink:

Drat, I am not the first dope to luv it…

Apparently I am not the second either. :smack:

You can still tell me I am cool though…
…if ya wanna…
:smiley:

OK. You’re cool, newcrasher.

One of my friends is working on that. Yesterday, when both FARK and Slashdot linked to him, was interesting.

My link is too slow, but I’ll give it a try tomorrow at work.

Well, since you’re the one that brought it to my attention, I hereby bestow upon you the Crown of Coolness.

Wear it with pride. :slight_smile:

I’m quite liking this - found a couple of bands I might just have a look around for when i’m next shopping. The only problem is it’s a bit NA-Centric - i’m having some trouble finding a couple of lesser-known british bands. I guess that’s to be expected, though.

Well Done newcrasher. I love putting music on in the background and love checking out new stuff. You. Are. The. Coolest.
Thanks

Dammit, I want broadband :frowning:

newcrasher that rocks. It’s hard enough to find someplace to drop the psychobilly I like, and it’s even harder to find the Island music that I get in the mood for in the wintertime. Awesome find, dude (or chick).

You are the coolestest

Thanks, newcrasher. I never knew about the site. This is cool!

Oh wow. I will live on this site from now on.

Well, there went the whole evening. Thanks, newcrasher.

Thanks from me too. I tried putting in “Kirsty MacColl” and at first it didn’t match her right; I was interested in her Latin/Cuban-influenced sounds and the system matched her other music. So then I tried putting in several of her Latin songs but the only one Pandora recognized was “In These Shoes?” - but not her version; it offered Bette Midler’s cover. Still though, the songs suggested were exactly the type of music I was looking for, by artists I never would have thought of listening to.

So thanks!

Aw shucks guys…

No blushing smiley…

I saw this first in one of the other threads, it’s really cool! The bitrate must be pretty high, the sound quality is quite good. I hope this lasts!

Launchcast had a similar concept, then it got bought by Yahoo and the bitrate is low for free users.

As a general rule, Dopers don’t blush all that much.

Just wanted to say that I just registered after lurking for about three years now just to say that this is an awesome link and thank you for sharing!

You’re not wrong! :cool:
