After living in Korea for about 6 years, I've kind of lost touch with the music scene back home... UNTIL NOW!
I just heard about this site and it's awesome. It's called
Pandora. I heard an interview with the website creator and it basically works like this:
- You type in a band that you'd like to hear more music like.
- It starts streaming songs that are similar in style to your initial band.
- You give a thumbs up or thumbs down for each song you hear.
- The algorithm makes changes to match your preferences so songs that you'd prefer to hear start showing up more.
- Pretty soon you have your own personal radio station (up to 100) that plays music you like.
All music on the site is judged by other musicians and is judeged by over 200 attributes and many details about each attribute. Incredible. Best of all, All Free!
