[BC] The future of broadcasting...

[nakayle@gmail.com]

There is already a website called http://pandora.com that lets you listen to
music tailored just to your personal taste all day long with no commercials
or interruptions of any kind- and it's all for free.  Unlike conventional
radio- each person receives an individual stream of just the kind of music
you like.  You "train" it by telling it what songs you like and don't like
as it plays them until it learned what your tastes are.  And if you really
like a song they play you can click a button to permanently download it for
99?.  (I assume this is how they make their money).  Now it's hard to see
how conventional radio can compete with something like this.
