ANOTHER RADIO REPLACEMENT: PANDORA

Why would I listen to the radio at work when I can listen to Pandora. Listen to music of all genres for free, no DJs, no ads for car dealerships, no traffic and weather breaks and no division of sacred and secular. Music is piped in for me based on what I like about music and nothing else.

Upon arriving at Pandora you'll be asked to enter an artist's name. Let's say, you know, just for example sake, you put in my name. Pandora "programs" a station with my music and similar music - music with the same "dna." So you're likely to hear Robbie Seay Band, Tom Petty, Cool Hand Luke or Leigh Nash. But as each song plays you can tell Pandora if you like it or not, if you want to skip it or give it a thumbs up, and over time it learns why you like my music and fine tunes your station to better reflect your likes and dislikes.

You can set up multiple stations. A Rob Zombie station. A Johnny Cash station. A Kanye West station. A Death Cab For Cutie station. Each station plays music with similar DNA to the artist you've chosen. You're in charge.

Brilliant. For free.
