[http://www.pandora.com Pandora] is a "music discovery service" designed to help you find and enjoy music that you'll love. It works like this: you give us the name of an artist or song and we instantly create a "station" that plays songs that share musical characteristics with the artist/song you entered. From there you can fine-tune the station to your tastes by giving us feedback on the individual tracks we play. You can make up to 100 unique stations that play all kinds of music - Pop, Rock, Jazz, Electronica, Hip Hop, old, new, big names, and small acts -- over 300,000 songs from more than 10,000 artists. Pandora is entirely web-based (the client Flash-based and built with OpenLaszlo); you won't need to install any software to start listening.

[http://www.pandora.com Pandora] is built on top of the [http://www.pandora.com/mgp.do Music Genome Project], the most ambitious, fine-grained analysis of music ever undertaken. If you're interested in all the details, you can read more about the project on the site. 

Would love to know what you think of the service -- drop an email to TomConrad (tomconrad-at-gmail-dot-com) with any comments or critiques.
