Within minutes, I visited the site and tried out the online radio. And now, a few weeks later, I can&#8217;t go online without listening to my randomized &#8220;Quick Mix&#8221; of customized artist-based stations! In fact, the first tab in my <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/en-US\/firefox\/\">Firefox 2<\/a> browser automatically opens to Pandora! If you search for &#8220;Linkin Park&#8221;, that station will configure artists along that genre, and songs which you can individually &#8220;approve&#8221; or &#8220;decline&#8221;. I think I&#8217;ve tried another online radio in the past, but I don&#8217;t remember it, lol. The thing is: It&#8217;s hard to believe that I hardly open my Winamp MP3 player anymore!&#8230; So for those sitting at a computer all day, who are open and willing to try out new music that fits one or many artist genres, without the clunkiness of transferring MP3 files, this may be a welcome addition to your musical day!
