I just learned about this site and I love it, I didn't have any problems with loading or lagging... the suggestions are amazingly accurate and to the point. I tested it with a few different styles and lesser known artists and must say I have been very positively surprised. I also like that fact thatm besides playing stuff one likes, it can introduce you to new artists you didn't previously know. This is especially useful for musical genres which were "before your time" so to speak (i.e. before you were born).

The only thing I'm missing is an option to select certain attributes and then create a station that plays songs conforming with those attributes. I think this would allow more experimenation to find interesting stuff than just going by artists and/or songs.

When I first herd about it, I absolutely loved it. To me it was such a great idea, finally a site that organizes music theorically rather than by genre. It really has helped me gain new bands and such, but the thing I really don't like about it is that when you add songs you like it seems to redetermine the music played on the station.

With one of my stations I had setup for John Coltrane, I got a smooth jazz song that I liked to I said I liked it, and before you know it, I kept getting more and more smooth jazz tracks on there, and nothing even similar to John Coltrane.

Oh well, other than that its great.

I love this website. The amazing part is you can click a button that says "Why is this playing?" and it will say something like the bass line is the same or something. It just is holding so much information. (Wonder how many hosting credits it needed tongue.gif )

Wow this so very cool. I love it very much.
It takes up a lot of bandwidth though.

Yeah, itīs true. The explanations are amazing... I donīt know how they do to categorize songs but yes, you click on the "why" button and some scientific-alike explanation appears about simmilar high-pitched sounds or whatever biggrin.gif

I used to use pandora all the time. But it makes FF take up like 100 megs of memory, and started slowing down my computer, so now I use iTunes. =P

I DL'd all the songs that I listened to on pandora, though smile.gif
