Personal Radio

Stumbler found me Pandora the other day - it is essentially a personal radio station. Pandora is tied into the music genome project, which classifies artists on a wide variety of musical criteria. Give Pandora a song or artist, and it will find and randomly play similar songs or artists. Unlike radio, however, they tell you what the song and artist are, and you can skip tracks you're not interested in. There are also feedback options to fine-tune the particular selections you are listening to. There are some limitations: like a radio station (and due to their license type), you cannot pause or rewind the songs - nor can you copy them. Also, their selection is somewhere between what you would find at the local best buy and what you can find at Amazon.com. Rare and hard-to-find stuff won't be in their database, nor is classical music. Of course, you can't play it in your car, either... still an interesting idea and a nice website.
