| Your own personal DJ |
| If you listen to music on your computer you might want to try out www.pandora.com. It's a website that helps you discover more music similar to your current tastes. You tell it a song, or an artist and it suggests other similar music and lets you listen, creating your own personal radio station.
The amazing thing is the huge amount of human input that has gone into making this thing work. They have analysed over 10,000 songs based on about 400 different criteria, spending up to 30 minutes listening to each song over and over! So, rather than simply find songs in you favourite genre, it tries to accurately match up all the things that make your favourite song or artist unique. And it works really well!
Thanks to Rob for passing it on. |
