A Must For All (Music Lovin) Techies
ok, this isnt neccesarily an IT tool but I had to share this with you all.... Its Pandora. Pandora is not only an amzing site on the PC but its a great app for the iPhone or Blackberry. I use it on Blackberry and its amazing. So, what is it? Well first of its an online jukebox..... in which you control, well, the genre that you hear anyway. This is how it works. First you must set up an account (either through your phone or pc/mac) at pandora.com. Its free. Then you type in a band name.... ie: Nirvana. It automatically sets up "Nirvana Radio". Then, you only hear songs from Nirvana or bands that are exactly like Nirvana.... Its nuts. I dont know where the songs come from.... nor do I care.
