If you like music at all, this site is brilliant.

What you do is enter in artists or songs you like into this website, and it will compile a radio station for you that will randomly play songs by the artists you've entered or simmilar to them.

It's so awesome, I'm in love.

I suppose it'd also be a great way to check out bands you're considering buying CD's of, to see if you like a random sampling of their library.

AND IT'S FREE!

And you could also record those songs right off the speaker using some program/s...
 
How is this different from www.launch.com[/URL]

You put in a song, you listen to the song you want to hear, and then it plays songs which sound similar...

I guess the only difference with Launch and pandora, is that launch has no 10 hr limit.
 
I dunno, but I would guess launch isn't as cool. Will launch play Kyuss songs? How about E-40?

<edit>Holy crap... Yahoo has Kyuss and E-40 in their database. That's ridiculous...</edit>

But who's listening to music from one source for 10 hours anyway?
 
I've used Launch for a few years. After a while, you've built up too many songs to want to change.
Of course, I don't even know who Kyuss and E-40 are.:redface:

I was thinking that the 10 hrs is accumalitive.

I don't even know who Kyuss and E-40 are.

Neither do I.

Kyuss is a mellow hard rock band; the Guitarist/singer and Bassist of Queens of the Stone Age were in Kyuss before they formed Queens of the Stone Age. E-40 is a really crazy/creative rapper who made up tons of the slang that all rappers use today.
