2. Step up to Last.fm, dammit

It's free, and only about a gazillion times better than fuckin' PANDORA.

Yes. I said "gazillion."

:rofl:

My playlist is kind of an odd mix of prog and jazz. But a lot of what's on it features musicians who simply aren't available through Pandora. That's why I switched.

:toast:

9. Ok so I like the last.fm player

Does it play videos to during the random shuffle? That player has been playing slideshows of artists while it plays the music which is cool. But I wonder if it will throw a video on there if it comes across one?

10. I don't think it puts videos in the songs playlist...

...there's the video page, http://www.last.fm/videos

So I think the slideshows go in the songs playlist and the videos are on the videos page.

:shrug:

3. They must be linked by the "bands who are sports fans" algorithm

4. I can't stomach pandora anymore.

The ads got out of control.

And they ask 'are you still listening?' way too much.

I know they have bandwidth issues, but if I opened their damn page, that pretty much means I'm listening.

They've gotten a bit anal about certain things, I'm afraid.

I listen to somafm a lot. They have a few short ads, but not so obnoxious.

My opinion, of course.

7. That might be cause of people like me

I like to leave it on while I'm falling asleep or I leave it on and forget about it and go out for awhile. Most of time when Pandora is playing I'm not even in the room lol.

8. Think of all...

.
... the Hootie you're missing.

11. I prefer my Vangelis and AC/DC channels.

I added Enya to the Vangelis channel.

12. Have you heard the new Pearl Jam?

Maybe it wasn't Hootie after all...lol.
