I am way behind the times when it comes to music. Considering how much I am into all kinds of music this is really strange, but I never really seemed to move past cassette tapes! I think I have owned 10 CD’s in my entire life, though at this point I only have like 3. I might be the only person over 9 years old on the planet without an iPod. Dad even has an iPod. Dad, who still has a bag phone in his pick-up has an iPod, and I don’t! For some reason, even with as much as I love music, I don’t spend money on it. Because of this I constantly flip through radio stations in my car, all excited about what one of my “favorite” songs might come on next. Now though, thanks to my husband, I have discovered PANDORA!
So all you do is go to Pandora.com and it walks you through creating your own radio station! You tell it what artists and/or songs you like, and it builds a group of songs based upon the info you give it. Once it starts playing songs, you can tell it that you either like or dislike a song. You can even bookmark songs for later! I have built 9 stations so far! I just go back and forth between them based on my mood! In a yelling, angry girl mood? Well then I have a station for that- it is Alanis Morissette Radio! In a laid back, chill sort of mood? How about The Doors Radio? Going to the lake or to play in the river? Well then I suggest my Pat Green Radio station! LOVE IT!
The best part of all this is that it is FREE! They can do this because there are advertisements on their website. Plus, about once every ten songs or so they play an ad, but it is never more than 20 seconds. The only way you get a charge is if you listen for more than 40 hours in a month. I personally listen all day every day at work, so I do pass that. When your 40 hours are up, the website gives you the option to pay 99 cents to finish out the month. 99 CENTS! If you don’t want to do that, you just have to wait until the end of the month to begin listening again!
The only drawback I see to this service is the fact that it only either plays off your computer, or your phone (if your phone has the capability.) But with speakers, headphones and attachments for songs on your phone to play in your car- you can easily get around all those road blocks.
So anyway- try it if you get a chance! I am listening to mine right now! And by the way, I chose this picture to go witht he post because Hailey is a little rocker herself! She loves music too and is quite the dancer!
