Pandora™ is a free music service that learns what type of music you like. You tell it a few songs or artists you like and begins playing similar songs. Specifying about a dozen song titles, rather than artists, allows you to narrow the music selection really well. To refine it to your tastes you can rate each song you like with a thumbs up and songs you don't like with a thumbs down. After about an hour of learning it does a spectacular job of choosing music you'll like.

You can also share your taste in music with others. For example, I've created Augur Radio on Pandora. Have a listen...if you dare.

If you're using the Mozilla Firefox web browser then drag this Pandora™ Mini link to your toolbar to create a button that will popup the Pandora player in a small floating window.
