Pandora’s Music Genome Project is a success in my opinion

Music is a big part of me. Anyone that knows me can vouch for that. I have played musical instruments since I was in fifth grade. I started with the trumpet and moved to guitar. I have an acoustic and electric guitar as well as a bass. Unfortunately I haven't been nearly as active with it as I should have. My goal is to dive right back in as the kids are a little older so that I can maybe take official lessons with them. I think that would be an amazing journey.

When I'm at work and don't feel like listening to the music that I have already installed on my computer I like to listen to Pandora. This is a great music player for many different reasons but the best one is they are free. I'm just kidding about that, but it certainly does play a role.

There are many different reasons why Pandora has won my support. I'll try my best to list them:

• I can choose an artist, and Pandora tries to find matching artists to accommodate that artist in my station;
• I can set up many different stations all with different "genres" that are focused so whatever mood I'm in I can select a station and listen to that;
• There are ads, but they are not in your face and do not take away from the experience;
• The quality is quite good;
• I've been able to listen to many artists I would never have been able to give a chance to without Pandora.

I know many of my friends have tried Pandora, but if you are one of the few who haven't please check it out as soon as you can. For those that do listen to Pandora, if you have a station you think I'd be interested in feel free to send me the link to it.
