resopalrabotnick Posted May 14, 2006 CID Share Posted May 14, 2006 www.pandora.com you pick an artist song you like and they give you a playlist of similar songs. ad supported or subscription. neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted May 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 14, 2006 i just found out they only let you skip songs a certain number of times per hour. if you reach that number of skips you have to wait till an hour passes from the first one. edit and you can add more artists songs to an existing station. just combined black sabbath with village people type music. interesting mix! (use the guide us button at bottom of player window) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted May 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 14, 2006 just went through the faq. well worth reading. interesting options in there. incidentally it links to dslreports.com for the speedtest. i wonder what would need to be done for them to link to the testmy.net one...

tommie gorman Posted May 16, 2006 CID Share Posted May 16, 2006 Damn that was nice, i just popped Elvis Presley in, and about 30 seconds later they were playing. S#!t, I added that to my favorites. Then Chuck Berry was next,then Bobby Rydell, man that was so easy. And just as easy to change at anytime. Besides, how can that be spam, if no one profits. Might try to get ahold of CA3LE to add it to the adds. Give everyone something to listen to while waiting to load. Thanks resopalrabotnick!

paladin Posted May 16, 2006 CID Share Posted May 16, 2006 Yep!! Good find. I prefer listening to my CDs that I have put into my PC. Listen to the real CDs in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted May 16, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 16, 2006 concerning the download behaviour: it apparently buffers the entire song at max speed and then leaves the connection alone till the next song starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
