I agree with Darren. Last.fm is kind of like Amazon recommendation, where as “people” who liked this song also liked this song. Pandora recommends music based on similar qualities of the artist or the song that you use to build your station.

Last.FM is good, but Pandora seems to have a more explicit set of algorithms that break down bands/songs by elements like vocal vibrato, song tempo, use of certain instruments. Apparently it took 3-4 years to dissect and compile all the elements which comprise each song/band and it was done by professionally-trained musicians. ThisWeekInTech had a good podcast interview with the founder not long ago, but the site seems to be down.

Let your music be discovered

Thanks to Chris from Allthatscool.com I got to know Pandora. A music service that makes you discover music. Actually Pandora does it for you. All you need to do is fill in a name of one of your favorit…

I have never used Pandora, but I would recommend you also to check Last.fm

Cheers.
