Pandora Radio review

According to the website, pandora is, "the personalized internet radio service that helps you find new music based on your old and current favorites". You create a station, and base it off a song, or an artist. You then choose what you want to listen to (so you do "thumbs up" for songs you like and "thumbs down" for songs you don't like). You can skip songs, but only three every hour. This is because the website pays for the songs, and if you're listening for free you cost them money every time you skip.

I really love this website. I've "built" some great stations, including one based on one of my favorite artists, Lady Gaga. Because it's music genome pulls songs that are similar to what you've liked, I've also discovered some great artists I had never heard of before (Like City and Colour, but I didn't find them through my Lady Gaga station). I think the greatest downfall to this site is that you only get 40 of free listening a month, and there are ads sprinkled throughout the songs. You can upgrade to "Pandora 1" for $36 USD a year, but I don't like it that much.

Oh, and here's a link to the site itself:
