I must have been living in a hole for the past few years, check this out!

There seems to be some international constrictions as they ask for a zip code to verify you live in the US when you register, because of copyright shit. Use this zip code, 56649, if you are outside of the US.

It asks what artists or genera of music you like and they play the related songs. I entered "John Prine" and have been listening for hours.

Trust me, it is one of the coolest things I have found on the Internet, ever.

I use this:

http://www.spotify.com

Loads on there (including John Prine) and you can create your own playlists.
It's available to those of us in the UK too.

That site is pretty good, PF. I use last.fm too. Smile

It may be harder than just a zip code, PF. It threw me out based on my IP address.

Dear Pandora Visitor,

We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

When I get chance, I'll try it with a US proxy, or try the site recommended by the rabid squirrel.

ETa: I signed up for Spotify OK, but why it thinks I would like Whitney bleedin' Houston beats me.

That's funny coming from a Cliff Richards fan!

Yes, been a loyal Pandora listener for years now. I have multiple channels set up dependent on my mood and what I'm doing while listening. Since the new deal has been reached with the RIAA, there is little danger of Pandora (and its ilk) going away anytime soon.

This is new for me. Excellent. Thanks for posting it, Pastor Frank. Thumbs up

Since the rabid squirrel pointed me at Spotify, I've not had the radio on. Or listened to 'Cocacabana', or anything else by Barfield Bignose. Rolling Eyes

At the risk of sending myself to post in the 'What Music Are You listening To' thread, right now I'm listening to a compilation of the different versions and studio takes of 'Good Vibrations', probably the best single ever made.
