   The blog’s last entry was three weeks ago; not much in the way of a human element there…

   Last.FM which used to be known as Audioscrobbler has been doing something similar for a long time.

   awesome! i’ve been looking for quality streaming for quite some time. Ever since Launch.com (now Y! Music) got turned into a pay-for service.

   last.fm > pandora.

   pandora is the same “tell me what to listen to” structure that has plagued radio, record store “featured items”, and mtv/vh1. i get that it’s a great service for people who can’t install software (at work), but people need to stop letting ‘experts’ tell them what they like.

   This service rock IMO
   Too bad it’s so heavy on CPU (makes firefox at 30% CPU or so) and makes things a bit choppy for other apps

   yeah, LastFM/Audioscrobbler is a much better model, its automatic stations are fantastic, since they’re based on what YOU listen to, rather than what anyone else thinks you’ll like. Its all in stats, rather than human opinion. Recommended.

   Last.Fm requires you to pay for it, otherwise you have to listen to ads, the interface isn’t nearly as neat, and the quality is lower, I’ve tried both and liked pandora more.

   Indeed its function is similar to LastFM Recommended, but the presenting is better and for me the results are much better too. I really like LastFM and use it regularly, but Pandora shows me some new music I’d really like to buy.

    Just three words: this service rocks! Really cool music and it’s easy to use.

    I use Pandora to show me new songs I would have probaly never come across. The ones I like I click and it is added to my iTunes cart. Easy, clean, FREE!

    How many people can really pinpoint their music prefrences with so many choises out there. Also, you forget the discovery element.
