I don't know if this is old news or not (or if this is advertising), but my friend showed me a cool little website called Pandora where you can type in your favorite song/artist/genre and it will play that music and show you other music similar to that that it thinks you might like. Anyways, I know some people here like music so check it out if you can. I found some good bands there.

http://www.pandora.com/

You can also get an application for it on your Mac or PC if you don't want to go to the website all the time.

The application for Macs is called PandoraBoy.

The application for Windows is called Open Pandora.

Thanks for the site. I was looking to store up on my iPod. I'll go check it out.

[Henry]

No problem. Its www.pandora.com . There are no bugs or anything and if you sign up, you get some more features and stuff.

[Adept]

We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S.

I guess that's another thing that sucks about being Canadian =/

[PEIcurler91]

damn, since I live in Canada, I can't use it, it won't work for me

[limes]

I r canadien too!

I guess I'll just get my music the old fashioned way.

[Henry]

Ugh what's with all of these Canadians?

Just kidding

But I am sure you guys can find a similar program that is compatible to Canadians. Just use a search engine to find one.

[Trozi]

Hey look im on pandora. So adept, runedude, and lime you guys check this website out yet?

[Darkest]

Cool im going to check this out. It sounds pretty interesting.

EDIT: this deserves some rep!!!

[Ace]

I'm going to sticky this .

This was not created by me I just thought it would be helpful.
I do not want to remove the links so they are staying just don't click them if you fell they are unsafe.


I’m not an avid Pandora user. Personally, I like Last.Fm better. But it angers me when I see that such a great service will now be unavailable for users outside of the US. TechCrunch has the details, as well as a facsimile of the letter sent to Pandora’s international users.
Of course, I don’t blame Pandora for this: they’re just complying with the US (and international) laws and regulations.
I blame the laws and regulations.
In any case, this is the Internet, and it’s easy to be a hacker nowadays, so here’s a couple of services you can use to access Pandora from wherever you are (btw, Pandora still works for me although I’m from Croatia; I guess they haven’t covered all the IP ranges just yet):
1. Firefox + anonymous proxy - in Firefox, open Tools - Options - Advanced - Network - Settings. There you have the proxy options. Go to one of these sites:
http://tools.rosinstrument.com/proxy/
http://www.publicproxyservers.com/
http://www.proxz.com/
http://www.stayinvisible.com/
Find some proxies there, enter their details into the proxy options in Firefox. Don’t worry if the first couple of proxies don’t work; it’s a trial and error process.
2. Public CGI Proxies - the easiest method. Randomly chooses a public proxy server; all you have to do is enter the Pandora.com address and enjoy the melodies.
3. Tor and Privoxy - these two are frequently used together to surf anonymously. Might be a bit complicated for beginners.
4. Metropipe - a set of commercial and free tools for anonymous surfing, including a free Firefox toolbar. Starts at $8.33.
5. Proxify - just enter Pandora.com, uncheck remove all scripts, and you’re good to go. Well, in theory; it didn’t work for me; might be just a temporary glitch.
6. The Cloak - same as Proxify, enter the address and surf anonymously right away. And, just like Proxify, it doesn’t work. Again, maybe it starts working somewhere in the future; you never know with services like this.
7. Cotse - another commercial service, starts at $5.95. Covers much more than just anonymous surfing, though.
8. Anonymizer - another commercial anonymizing package, a bit more expensive.
This should be enough for most users. Enjoy Pandora, wherever you are (;.

If you mean download we can't, some fat ass named Stephen Harper changed the law

[Darkest]

^^ really???? that sucks.

I guess it's back to the old recording the songs on the radio with your cassette player method.

[Christy]

At least you can get on the site if what I posted works.

[PEIcurler91]

pretty much. ugh I hate Harper right now. We are now the worlds biggest joke, what next? No CD's we have to use 8 tracks, lets not give him any ideas.

EDIT-- no only works in the States

[Christy]

What are you talking about?

[PEIcurler91]

the new law in Canada, you know those damn music downloaders are the end of our future, not the druggies, prostitutes, or genocides, but downloading music

[Willie]

Dude.

This made my day, thanks a lot.

[Henry]

No problem, guys. I knew some of you music lovers would like this I'm glad its such a big hit so far.

[Andy]
