One thing I like to do with my many hours spent online is search for and discover new music. This isn’t always easy of course; it’s difficult to tell Google what kind of music you like and have it suggest other similar music. That’s where the Music Genome Project comes in.
Since January 2000 a bunch of hard working audiophiles have been compiling a massive list of over 300,000 songs and entered their musical properties into a database. This means you can now discover great new artists similar to the ones you love.
Pandora is a service based on the Music Genome Project. You can enter the name of an artist or song and it will stream a personalised music station of music of the same style. The service is entirely free so make sure you try out.
