http://www.pandora.com/ (http://www.pandora.com) I found this via stumbleupon (http://www.stumbleupon.com/) which is another uber cool internet thing i discovered in the past few days...

anyway you just give pandora a song or a band, and then it creates an internet radio station for you out of it's music library of other similar songs.

It's free.

Sorry if this has allready been posted.

Pandora is alright. I usually have it on.

Probably Pandora, since the method is less transparent.

Of course, I've searched for the "Music Genome Project," that Pandora apparently uses to create their recommendations, but haven't found something showing how the genome is mapped, so to speak. Anybody else have better luck? I'd be interested to know.

Also, Pandora works better if you combine artists onto a single station, because there's less repeats over time.
