Pandora for iPhone

Pandora - The Music Genome ProjectOver the past few weeks, I've become more and more aware of my friends talking about Pandora. When I first heard this, I was like, "Why are you guys talking about the Greek's idea of the first woman?" Of course, this was not even close to the Pandora they were discussing.
Pandora is actually an Internet radio service created by The Music Genome Project. Its users can enter a song or artist and Pandora comes up with selections that are similar. The user then provides feedback of approval or disapproval on the song, which Pandora remembers for future music selections. Not only is it free, but it's super easy to use! Some say that it will even take over radio completely in the future.
The coolest thing about Pandora is that it plays only music that you like. I absolutely hate when I have to switch radio stations when a song comes on that I don't like. With Pandora, there's no worrying about crummy songs or artists. You decide what you hear! I recently got Pandora on my iPhone and it's just as great as on the computer. I usually just pull up my Pandora application on my iPhone in the car and don't mess with the car radio at all anymore! It's totally customized!
On Pandora, you have a list of stations that you and Pandora create from previous likes and dislikes. For instance, on my station list, I have Jimmy Buffett Radio and Nirvana Radio. They're totally different types of music, but whatever mood I am in, I have a station for! I can even share stations with my friends that have Pandora. I thought Pandora sounded stupid when my friends told me about it. I thought, "Why not just listen to the radio instead of messing with all of that?" But honestly, I will never go back to regular radio... and it's definitely not as hard and I had assumed!
Here's a YouTube video that talks about the Pandora app for iPhone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtPvEzhLzCU
