    This is an awesome music site. What you do is put in ond of your favorite songs or artists, and then the site matches the style to other songs and creates your own personal music station. I highly recomend this site to everybody.

    I personally think that the best part about it is how it changes what it songs are chosen depending on what you said about the previous songs, which I found quite useful when Yellow Card came up on my DragonForce station >_<. I also like that if you say you don't like the song, it automatically goes on to the next song, which was also very useful in the Yellow Card situation...

    Ouch, that must have been painful. :p It probably went by the female singer and such or something to bring up the Kelly Clarkson song.

    That's pretty genius, once you give it a few different opinions (whether you like it or not) it works very well.

    The only problem is when you try to set up an acount to save your "stations", you need a five digit US area code. I got away with it 'cause I'm staying with my dad in Florida right now but still, it was pretty irritating. Just make up a random five digit number and I think it'll let you set up an account from there.

    Well, thankfully for me I live in the US. And it also helped that I know my zip code. :D The reason why they need to do that though is the rules for music streaming, which are different for each country, which makes sense to me.

    Very nice, very useful, I guess once you have configured it to your wished you won't need anything else...

    I've known about this site for a while, and I have to say that it's awesome.

    Well, sometimes a song comes up, even after you have configured your station, that really doesn't match. Like on my station for thing close to the sound of DragonForce, I got a death metal song of all things. Also, if you repeatedly get songs that you don't like, after about five it won't skip the song because, according to regulations, you can only skip a certain number of songs per hour. Though there is a way around this, and that is to change "stations" twice, once to a new one and then a second time to the first station, which effectivley changes the song.
