Pandora Radio - My Favorite iPhone App

Pandora Radio (from the Music Genome Project) has just released an iPhone app, and it's my favorite iPhone application so far. With a free Pandora account, you enter in the artists and songs that you like and Pandora creates a radio station for you featuring other artists and songs that you're likely to dig.

For example, some of the stations I've created are based on Radiohead, Bob Marley, Beethoven, Weezer & The Beatles. When I play the Beatles station, not only do I get to hear songs from The Beatles (can't do that with iTunes), but also from America, the Rolling Stones and other artists that have similar characteristics to The Beatles. The data that drives the selection engine is based off of the Music Genome Project. You can find out more about the Music Genome Project and sign up for Pandora at www.pandora.com. Pandora for the iPhone is available through Apple's App Store in iTunes or directly on the iPhone.

Enjoy!
