Music Streaming and Sharing -Thing 17

I selected Pandora for learning about music streaming. It is easy to use and you have instant gratification when you create your "special station." You can select your favorite artists and Pandora gives you some of their songs to choose from (thumbs up) and it also gives you some suggestions of other artists who sings in the same styles as your selected artists. You have the capability to bookmark songs and artists so you can come back to them.

There are some rules on Pandora that places limits on you as to how many songs you can skip, so you need to make careful selection of your favorite artists. If this is a problem to you, you can select other music streaming sites which give you the ablility to play specific songs such as Last.fm.

You can create special stations for your different moods - slow and easy to fast and loud. If you create a profile, you can save your stations, but if you choose not to do this you can make quick selections each time you log in. The ads are a little off putting, but worth it. Nice!
