You should be using Pandora
Do you like music? Probably. I haven’t used one of those downloading programs like LimeWire for years though… at college the firewall prevents it and those always seemed to slowdown my computer. I haven’t had a problem acquiring music though, whether I am buying a CD, copying one from a friend, or finding it on SingingFish.com. Recently I discovered Pandora. No downloads, but regardless, you should go to Pandora.com and try it out. Type in an artist or song you like, and Pandora will play selections it thinks are musically similar. Give the song a thumbs down or a thumbs up, and over time you will find that it becomes your own personalized radio station, constantly helping you discover more songs that you like.
Speaking of internet music, I was surprised to read read on TechCrunch that Napster has acquired AOL Music. That’s crazy. Five years ago, I remember it seemed like everyone had AOL, which was the leading dial-up provider, and many hip web-surfers were using Napster to illegally download music. Now 350,000 AOL music listners will become Napster users.
