Pandora's Box of Music

A friend(Namisha!...thnx) recently recommended this site http://www.pandora.com/
It has always been a pain to search for new types of music, especially the type your friends don't really hear.

Was pleasantly surprised by this site. Not only does it recommend the songs to you, but also streams it instantly. So you can check for yourself if you like the song or not.Thus the pain of hunting for it, downloading it only to realise that you can't stand the song does not exist.

Over time it gets better and better as you use it and I guess it can almost function as a personal DJ.

It actually gave me a decent recommendation for a song similar to some obscure lounge track, "Smokebelch II" by "Sabres of Paradise" , I had once heard. And it turned out to be pretty good.
