how to find new music that you’ll like
December 29th, 2005 by Lawrence David
i’m a big fan of the kind of music that doesn’t get played on the radio (the good kind). unfortunately, that means that i usually have trouble finding new bands that i like.
i’ve just come across this awesome site, however, that looks like it’ll change that. pandora takes as input a song or artist of your suggestion and uses some learning algorithm to suggest other songs that have similar characteristics (such as tonality, beats per minute, instrumentation, etc). i’ve been having fun with it for sometime now; this is really really exciting software. and, it appears to be free!
