I came across this website called 'Pandora' some time ago and am a regular user. As the name suggests, it opens up a whole new world to the user. Pandora is an online radio station that is as customisable as it can get without infringing on copyright laws. It has an online library of thousands of songs in CD quality with each artist's style analysed and documented. The user can specify a radio station based on the style of an artist or song they like and Pandora will create a playlist based on your personal preference. The user can skip tracks and rate them 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down'. Pandora remembers the users preference of music and plays more or less of that artist depending on their rating so each station you create gets better and better. It will also retrieve information about an artist if desired and show a profile and gig dates etc.
Pandora is a funtional site that has a simple user interface. It is a great website for those interested in discovering new music in a specific genre or those who fancy a change of music to their own collection.
I am a graphic design student at Leeds University. I'm open to new things and admire original work. I enjoy sports of all kinds, but have played rugby since I was a kid. I enjoy my course and life and support Leeds Rhinos so Leeds is a pretty decent place to be! I'm from Boston in Lincs... The most remote town in England apparently! I've also lived in Loughborough where I did my Foundation Art & Design course. I would describe myself as active, friendly and helpful. People who don't know me may think I'm quiet, but friends would probably descibe me as fun and loyal.
