Tonysounds Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 One of the best free tools for finding new music LEGALLY is www.pandora.com . It's internet radio, but YOU control the playlist (and in the process, can find some really great stuff). Sign up with an email address, type in either the genre, or an artist you are curious about, and it will start playing music of similar nature. You can give a thumbs up or down on each song (thumbs down skips to next song), but can only only refuse so many songs per hour, and depending on how you rate the songs, will narrow or broaden the focus of that new "station". You can have as many "stations" as you want, only one plays at a time of course, but you can save them, and click on the station you want, and they will continue to feed you music that you can enjoy or pass on. No downloads at this point, but it's a very useful tool in finding new (or older) stuff. You can also share stations with other people too. I have no afiliation with Pandora, I get no money (they take no money!), but I have exposed myself (in a manner of speaking) to some great stuff I wouldn't have found otherwise. Enjoy! Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Pierce Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yeah, I love Pandora too. A buddy mine actually runs there data center ops. One of the few people I know in my line of work, who has a job that I envy. They have a stage in the office. --Dave Make my funk the P-funk. I wants to get funked up.

Bridog6996 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I've been an avid fan of Pandora for years. It's kinda like crack, actually. You find out about more good music than you know what to do with. My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....... Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Check out SPOTIFY Not sure if you can get it yet in USA but in here in UK it is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahZark Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Spotify is not available in the US (according to the front page of the website). Pandora, however, does rock! Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABECK Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Pandora rocks, I listen at work most every day. Ditto. Though I'm a little irked at the new format (40 hour maximum per month). However, I can't really complain when it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrafon Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 As I posted on the "jam band" thread, check out http://music.aol.com/radioguide/bb for access to free online radio music. Otherwise, to be exposed to new music, or music that's just new to you, satellite radio is highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I can't really complain when it's free. Yup, and $36/yr for unlimited & no ads is a good deal too. I'll probably ante up as soon as I hit my limit.
