[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT Listening to Music

[AUDREY WELLNER]

Linda, 
  Thank you for the listing of the radio station.  Is there a charge for registering? Do they solicit?  My computer says they are listed in Indonesia.  I like Ottmar Liebert, guitarist and it's hard to find his music.  I tried the listing and they found him right away.  I didn't have time to register right now but want to make sure they don't send  a lot of return emails for advertising. 
 
TO THE MEMBERS:
  Just a reminder:  Please watch your subject lines and change them.
  I have so many emails now under "Magic Loop" that pertain to everything other than that subject, (Weight Watchers, exercising, holders for yarn). 
 
Thank you All, 
   Audrey Wellner, Secretary
   NFB Krafters Korner division

I love pandora.com too and have my stations saved there so that when I am in my office working I can listen to things that I like - or should I say, things I love!

Mostly, I play my "Mozart Piano Quartet" station or "Nickelback" which is exteme ends of the spectrum, but those are the two I love the most. Time flies as I work at projects, and enjoy the music.

I don't know about you, butt I do enjoy listening to music and working on
my crafts.  I love to listen to "my music" and not just the radio with all
the advertisements and occasionally really enjoy one song now and then that
I  love.

Well I just found something and I had to share this with you.  I love  it!

Pandora.com

The best thing is you pick an music artitst and it will build music of
different artists that is similar and play music for several hours [not sure of
how long]before it adds commercials in between the songs.  Now that I am
listening to it while writing this email I am wrong here.  It popped in an
advertisement after maybe 20 minutes.  When I first started listening the
first time it went a couple of hours.  Maybe the more you listen to it it
changes the advertisement timing.

The best part it is FREE.  They do have a option of paying $10 for a  one
year and I believe then it is no advertisements.

Here is what it says on the website.


When  was the last time you fell in love with a new artist or song?
At  Pandora, we have a single mission: To play only music you'll love.
To  understand just how we do this, and why we think we do it really,
really well,  you need to know about the _Music Genome Project_
(http://www.pandora.com/corporate/mgp) ®.
Since  we started back in 2000, we have been hard at work on the Music
Genome Project.  It's the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken.
Together our team  of fifty musician-analysts has been listening to music,
one song at a time,  studying and collecting literally hundreds of musical
details on every song. It  takes 20-30 minutes per song to capture all of the
little details that give each  recording its magical sound - melody,
harmony, instrumentation, rhythm, vocals,  lyrics ... and more - close to 400
attributes! We continue this work every day  to keep up with the incredible flow
of great new music coming from studios,  stadiums and garages around the
country.
With  Pandora you can explore this vast trove of music to your heart's
content. Just  drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into
Pandora and let the  Genome Project go. It will quickly scan its entire world of
analyzed music,  almost a century of popular recordings - new and old, well
known and completely  obscure - to find songs with interesting musical
similarities to your choice.  Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening
experience full of current and  soon-to-be favorite songs for you.
You  can create up to 100 unique "stations." And you can even refine them.
If it's  not quite right you can tell it so and it will get better for you.

The  Music Genome Project was founded by musicians and music-lovers. We
believe in  the value of music and have a profound respect for those who create
it. We like  all kinds of music, from the most obtuse bebop, to the most
tripped-out drum n  bass, to the simplest catchy pop tune. Our mission is to
help you connect with  the music YOU like.
We  hope you enjoy the experience!
