Location: Parrish, FL | Who here has tuned into Pandora Radio on the net? For us it has been a great find. My wife signed up at the recommendation of our college aged son while I was gone for several weeks.
We now have several 'personal' radio stations. The way it works is that you build a station with artist you like and it fills in with similar style music.
My current favorite is what my wife set up as 'Melissa Etheridge'. I added:
Susan Tedeschi and KT Turnstall.
I know, it doesn't sound like much, but what plays is some kick a$$ blues. Do yourself a favor and build this station and give it a whirl.

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | I've got about 6 "stations", so far. It tends to repeat itself, but it's still great. It's also got a cute feature- there are pop-up screens, about every 20-30 minutes, asking if you're still listening. Sounds only fair.....since its free. |

Location: Columbia, MD | You can download the Pandora application for the iPhone/iTouch. Then set up your stations on your computer. I have Leo Kottke and John Prine and get some pretty good guitar pickers. |

| I've been using it at work for nearly a year now. Found a lot of artists I hadn't heard of before thanks to its recommendations. Great stuff. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I clicked on the aol station and after it said "my" station was loading, it immediately started playing oldies. How did they know? |

Figured it would appeal to most of us. |

Location: Portland, OR | I have a station based on a James Galway Holiday album. Not much Galway, but great holiday background music. Then I have Little Richard for when I want to kick back. About 6 or 7 stations pretty much fit any mood. |

Location: Orlando, FL | I use Pandora at work every day. It can get repetitive, but if you keep adding different songs to it your station keeps growing. When I hear a new artist I really like I'll look at the songs on their album and add a few to the station. That really opens it up.
I have found a lot of great new (to me) music through Pandora. |
