    Default pandora.com

    One of the regulars on another discussion board just posted this. I'll be using it extensively over the next few days and report back. Any feedback from ya'all?

    I just checked it out after reading your post.

    So far.....I am impressed. I wish there was a way I could stream it to my Squeezebox.

    Geez....I really like this after about 10 more minutes and three songs or so....I can see my CD collection rising because of this!

    Now I really wish there was a way to stream this to my Squeezebox!

    This is almost a reason to hook up a computer to my audio system.....

    I find it acceptable. It's not the best it could be but I don't need it to be. Let us know what ya think.

    OK...tried it out. Very acceptable for what I want it for.....love to be able to sample music that suits my tastes.

    This is much better than radio.

    This is a cool site that I tried when it was posted on fark.com a while ago. IIRC, it only streams for so long before stopping (I don't know how long, but less than a work day) and it only allows you to skip so many songs (found this out after trying to use it as a quick way to scan for new music - only let me skip something like 10 times).

    I have found some interesting bands I hadn't heard of before - it seems to be excellent for that.

    I have not reached the stream time limit yet...but only listened for a couple of hours. You are only allowed to skip "X" number of songs an hour....but it seems you can get around that limitation if you just click the "I don't like this song" in the menu.

    Maybe the stream limitation is lifted if you register.
