A little over 12 years ago, I started digitizing my music collection onto my computer.  Our CD collection was well over 500 at the time, and I spent a lot of time creating all those mp3 files.  It was worth it because I could listen to them anytime, and as mp3 players became popular - I could transport my music to a player (or my phone) and listen to it anytime I wanted.

That’s all very cool stuff, but the problem is that I only listen to music that I KNOW OF!

Now Satellite Radio (XM and Sirius) both came out a few years ago, and if you are a little adventurous you will find some pretty cool music, but I don’t listen to Satellite radio unless I am in the car.

Well Now there is a website that you can input the bands you like to listen to…or just the songs you like to listen to, and the site will CREATE AND PLAY a Playlist of music that not only includes your bands/songs you like but will include NEW BANDS and MUSIC.

The website is www.PANDORA.com.  This is a GREAT SITE!

You not only can listen to music that you like, but you can SHARE your musical taste with others!  Also, if you find a song that you really like that you haven’t heard before, pandora gives you a direct link to iTunes, Amazon MP3, or buy the CD from Amazon!  Now that is Really COOL!

Here is my station!

Here is what else is cool…If you have Sprint or AT&T, you can actually queue up and listen to your pandora selections from your phone!  And you still have the ability to buy the track from your phone as well!

Now I must confess that my daughter told me about this site, and I raised her alowance because of it.
