Pandora (discovering new music)
Woo-hoo, I just stumbled onto Pandora, available in both free and subscription forms:
At Pandora Media … we have a single mission: To help you discover new music you’ll love. …
With Pandora you can explore to your heart’s content. Just drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into Pandora and let the [Music] Genome Project go. It will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings — new and old, well known and completely obscure — to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you. …
I don’t know yet if Pandora will work for me, but the idea fits my head like a key in a lock:
We believe in the value of music and have a profound respect for those who create it. We like all kinds of music, from the most obtuse bebop, to the most tripped-out drum n bass, to the simplest catchy pop tune. Our mission is to help YOU connect with the music YOU like.
Excellent marketing. I’m in. (FAQ)
