Pandora is an internet radio which is an "offspring" of the Music Genome Project. The Music Genome Project is a group of musicians and technologists who assembled thousands of musical "genes" into one site. This way when you type in an artist's name, other artists in the same genre and time period will also play. The thing I like about it the most is that it gives you a brief history of the artist/composer that is being played, as illustrated in the screenshot below.
The only disadvantage is that after you skip so many songs you can't skip anymore and the commercials kind of throws off the mood.
With Pandora you have to set up and account with an email you already have. This will be your username. When signing up they also ask for your birth year because children under the age of 13 can't use Pandora because of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) which is a great plus.
Last but certainly not least, Pandora is compatible with Android, Blackberry, Palm Pre and Windows Mobile.
