In summary, Pandora is a website that generates personalized radio stations based on a user's chosen band or song. The program may experience errors, but it assures users that it is not their fault. The website has a time limit of 10 hours, but this can be extended by using a proxy. Similar websites, such as Yahoo LaunchCast, offer a wider range of features. Pandora is not illegal as long as they pay royalties for the music being played. Users can continue playing songs indefinitely by clearing their Flash cache.

Enter a band or song you like and it will generate a radio station based on similar sounding music.

Wow, this is awesome. Thanks for sharing this dduardo.

It only gives you 10 hrs though. I guess you could beat that by using a proxy.

Yahoo LaunchCast does this (http://launch.yahoo.com/launchcast/ ) and a lot more. I like it much.

I thought music radio stations on the web were illegal. What's up with pandora? Are all of them anti-legal?

It isn't illegal to have a radio station if your paying royalties, which is exactly what they are doing.

Btw, if you clear your Flash cache you can continue to play songs forever.
