Basically, Pandora allows you to create your own internet radio stations based on a selection of artists and/or tracks you submit to it. Once it has an idea of the kind of music you like, it'll feed you tracks from those artists and, here's the good bit, it'll also serve up tracks it considers match your music preferences, based on its enormous music genome tagging database. The music genome project uses a large team of highly-trained musicians to categorize the music.
That means you get to discover new artists, bands and tracks
Due to the music licensing model, there are a few restrictions to the service. For example, there's no rewind button, no facility to play a particular track and you cannot have more than one station seeded by a particular artist. Still, it's free and, having created a station and played it for a few hours, it certainly lives up to its promise of serving out new music that I'd like.
