My son introduced me to Pandora last night. It's free (40 hours a month). You build your own radio station.
There are some ads, but they are short and not that bothersome. It's super simple to do.
I started out with Simon and Garfunkel.............then it automatically plays songs by similar artists. You give it a thumbs up or thumbs down if you like their selection. It found James Taylor and Creedence Clearwater Revival..........wow..........this thing is in my head. It's so neat to have a station with all your favorite songs playing.
Son has it on his television with his wifi connection. He also gets it on his "fancy" phone and can play it through his truck speakers with an attachment. He's replacing his XM radio with this.
You can build more than one station. I think I'll do a Christmas one next.
