Pandora: Internet Radio!

Recently I decided to actually use Pandora. I become easily bored with my music collection and seek something new, so this website seemed like a perfect fit for me.
And also I can stop bugging people for musical suggestions.
Now, a cool feature of Pandora is letting other people listen to your stations, and I know people on here have really fantastic taste in music. (Vorus, Koshian, Knob, and Centipede Damascus come to mind.)
I have three radio stations right now, but I really only listen to the acoustic indie one lately, because it helps me to write stuff.
There's probably at least a couple people on here that use Pandora, and I wanna know what you listen to SE++, I want to tune in to your radio stations.

Does Pandora work with iTunes, then? If so, I'll sign up.
You only influence what music it gives you, you don't have absolute control of what you hear.
A couple of those are for my dad when he shows up here drunk.
I only use Last.fm to chart what I'm listening to but I'll use this to chart what I should be listening to more
I wasn't trying to introduce people to it, you silly man.
So I put in "No Soul" by Say Anything and it spit out this song "Childhood's End" by Marillion.
And I totally fucking dig it.
So yeah, very good first impression and I can definitely see myself using this regularly.
It's a flash app that runs in it's own browser window but it does have click-to-buy links for iTunes and AmazonMP3 which is way better by the way.
Then I had to make up a ZIP code to verify that I was infact in the US. Turns out my ZIP Code was for somewhere in NY.
Then they introduced IP tracking, so now I can't listen at all.
Also, none of you know who I am but fuck it. my taste goes all over the place, but the Atmosphere, De La Soul, and Incubus channels have had a lot of time getting nitpicked into exactly what I wanted from them and nothing more.
No u
How is AmazonMP3 better? Is it cheaper?
Yes please elaborate
But it only played bands I already had on my iPod so I just use last.fm now
I suppose it's worth noting that they also have mobile apps for both typical cell phones and the iPhone, I assume the iPod Touch as well.
"Oh these guys are a lot like this other band huh I will listen to them"
yeah shit sucks
goddamn pandora
It often can be (they have sales on full albums a lot) but I like it because it uses way less overhead and they give you an MP3 file you can do whatever you wish with.
I got a couple of local band's albums that way, and a few odd ones that I wouldn't have found anywhere else
Yeah I use last.fm too, but I only really started scrobbling properly recently, so my music page is a little unbalanced (Beirut has like 2300 listens harhar).
What is your last.fm page Fari?
Well atleast iTunes store has decided to not use their DRM bullshit anymore. Plus it's pretty easy to buy stuff once you have an account set up. A little too easy actually...
Plus it also means you'll actually find really obscure music on last.fm, such as classical, whereas last time I checked Pandora (this might have changed by now), they hadn't even started cataloguing classical due to it's massive complexity etc etc.

Yeah I uh... like Beruit a lot ok? (like I said, if I had actually started scrobbling earlier than I did then I'd have a much more diverse library, as I went through a few "phases")
I've used it maybe twice, but I do think it works very well.
