Create Your Own Music Radio Stations

This is better than Sirius and XM Radio!  And it's free!  I just discovered a remarkable Internet site. It is called Pandora Internet Radio.  With it, you can create your own CD quality stereo MUSIC RADIO STATIONS personally tailored to your taste and any themes you choose.   Getting started is very simple.  Just select the artists and/or songs you want.  The website will do the rest, creating a THEME RADIO STATION based on your selections.  This is not like any other music site on the web.  It is the product of the Music Genome Project in which 50 musical analysts with 4 year degrees in music theory, composition and performance have been analyzing all types of music since 2000 to develop a huge  music database.   It is phenomenally all inclusive.  I assure you, you have not experienced a music website like this one.  It's like it can read your mind and learn your innermost musical taste when you give it just one artist or song.  And you can give it multiple criteria if you want.  Below, is an excerpt from the Music Genome Project website.

Each song in the Music Genome Project is analyzed using up to 400 distinct musical characteristics by a trained music analyst. These attributes capture not only the musical identity of a song, but also the many significant qualities that are relevant to understanding the musical preferences of listeners. The typical music analyst working on the Music Genome Project has a four-year degree in music theory, composition or performance, has passed through a selective screening process and has completed intensive training in the Music Genome's rigorous and precise methodology. To qualify for the work, analysts must have a firm grounding in music theory, including familiarity with a wide range of styles and sounds. All analysis is done on location.

No matter what type of music you like (rock, rap, jazz, big band, classical, modern, oldies, etc), whether you want to listen to background music while working or blast out your favorite theme tunes at a party, I guarantee you will love this site!  I'm not a big music listener, but this site won me over.  Please note:  The site will give you about a 15 minute tease after you set up your first "radio station".  It will, then, ask you to become a member.  Membership is free.  My guess is, by that time you will be hooked, as I was.  Click on the following link to get started:
