Ok, music lovers. If you haven’t heard about it yet, you need to check out Pandora. It’s basically a music player, but it tries to build stations of music you’ll like. You tell it an artist or song that you like, and it will start playing songs it thinks you’ll like. I gotta say…it’s been pretty dead on so far. There are a couple hitches though. First, you have to be in the US. Sorry, Canadians. Second, if you like classical, you’re out of luck (for now). They’re working on it, but I imagine that classical is so diverse a genre that it’s hard to write an algorithm that will do what Pandora does.
This is the station that I have created so far. I typed in “Louis Jordan” because I like his music lately, and it’s been playing similar stuff, only one of which I didn’t love.
