I was looking for music to play at the store and having issues finding something that works for everyone (and I wont go nuts listening to the same thing over and over).

This is pretty cool.

I'm not the police, but if you play music at your place of business, you are subject to a visit from ASCAP.
Not likely, but possible.
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing whether they are right or wrong, just the possibilities.

actually Pandora does repeat. I have a "station" set to Vivaldi, and with several 1000 "tunes" to select from that Vivaldi wrote and have been recorded, the play list seems to have no more than a few dozen, including non-Vivaldi "sounds-likes". Same goes for my Mozart station. I created the Vivaldi station when I noticed the Mozart station repeating a bit too often.....(sigh...)

But I haven't found a better alternative yet. Overall it gets a definite thumbs up.

realize also that you will have to restart it every 3 hours. it times out to make sure you are really there. It's a nod to online advertisers.

Pandora has kept me sane at work for almost 3 years now. Its awesome. Some complain that they cant skip a lot of songs and repeat stuff. But oh well. If you just want some good music on, the site is great.

Ohhh yeah, I love Pandora!

The secret to avoiding a lot of repeats is to create a TON of different stations and set it on the mix.

I used Songbird. It's the best that you can type any songs you want and download it and add on your playlist. They are free! They are with Firefox internet browser. Here is the website.
