SPCR opens Pandora’s Box
Thanks to the Music Genome Project, we have a new personalized music stream service, called Pandora. The fellows over at SPCR are quite impressed with the quality of choices that the service makes, even though it is definitely not quiet. It’s way of choosing music differs from Last.fm, and unfortunately it is not free.
