Opening Pandora’s Box
In case you don’t know, The Music Genome Project is a project designed to map music with codes like a DNA sequence and thus, with minor input from the user, map his favorite music. The Project has obviously gone a long way because we now have Pandora which is the engine of the Music Genome Project. You activate it, tell it the name of a band or song you like and it will find you other songs that might interest you. It’s iTunes based and music is streaming but in a few short hours of testing I found that the quality of sound is quite satisfying (I find no problem with it and I use amplified 100W stereo) and the song hits of the engine are also very accurate (I only disliked about 1 out of 10 songs presented. If you don’t want to build a psuedo radio station for yourself (or you don’t have the bandwidth for it) then this is at least a decent way to aquaint yourself with new bands that might have the sound you are looking for. Just remember. If you want to keep listening to it, then “YOU-ARE-LIVING-IN-THE-US!”. That is all.
