Great way to listen to music!

I found this site and thought I would pass it along. It allows you to put in any artist and then through a unique sequencing it finds other musicians out there that have similar sounds. Pretty cool.

Pandora



Pandora acts like your personal DJ. Just name an artist you like, and this free Internet radio service instantly starts streaming music. You'll hear not only from your selected artist, but also from others with a similar sound. It's a great way to discover new music, and Pandora is uncannily accurate in suggesting songs with comparable musical qualities. As you listen, you can rate each song with a thumbs up or thumbs down so Pandora can better tailor the station to your preferences. Of course, you also have the option of buying songs and albums from Amazon.com or Apple's iTunes Music Store. A recently added bookmark feature lets you replay your favorite songs later on. This is one Pandora's box you'll be glad you opened.

Ever wish you could "clip" a piece of a Web page the way you'd tear an article from a magazine? Clipmarks lets you do exactly that, then tag, store, organize, and share your clips. The site's simple toolbar is available for both Firefox and Internet Explorer; once it's installed, click the Clip icon on the toolbar, then mouse over the area of the page you wish to clip. Clicking on the toolbar again allows you to name, tag, and save that clip. Clipmarks is better than bookmarking because it saves only the data you want, not the entire page. Students, researchers, and even online shoppers are sure to find it
invaluable.
