I love Pandora. Now I don't know all the legal ins and outs of the musical industry or how they would apply, but I am glad that somehow this technological masterpiece is navigating those murky waters. And even though I am probably light years behind the times. I haven't blogged in quite some time, so I thought I would share.
How It works: Apparently some scientists with little better to do decided that they would create a scientific way of measuring music. Using tonality, lyrical content, instrumentation and other qualities they designed the Music Genome Project. Pandora (Internet Radio) picks songs to play to you based on those similarities. You tell the computer whether or not you like the song it picks and it uses that information to find another song you like. And yes, it works very well!
Happy listening!
