Pandora is a really great internet radio and music discovery site. Users can create multiple radio stations for different types of music, browse through other users shared stations to find new music, and even buy the new music they discovered on Pandora. Yes, that’s right, I said you can pay for this music that Pandora helped you find. If you click on the album cover there are links to iTunes and Amazon. The reason I’m mentioning this is because Pandora, and other internet radio stations, are most likely going to go under because the Copyright Royalty Board has severely increased internet radios royalty responsibility. Isn’t any credit given for the royalties gained each time a user purchases an album while using Pandora, or any other internet radio site?
I made this screencast to show you all of Pandora’s great features and to show you why Pandora can lead to the purchase of music which may otherwise have gone unnoticed. If you choose to support internet radio, you can read more about the issues here and sign a petition here. Here’s my screencast tour of Pandora:
