Pandora’s Box
Years ago I listened to Yahoo! LaunchCast all day long while I worked. Somewhere along the line that morphed into listening to Pandora and boy, what a difference. Whereas LaunchCast was pretty good at getting to know my tastes in music, Pandora seemed downright amazing.
But several months ago I moved on again, this time to TuneIn Radio on my iPhone. TuneIn Radio gives you free access to tens of thousands of radio stations all over the world which means you can find pretty much anything you feel like listening to. It will preview what’s playing on a station. You can search in real time by song or artist (there are more search parameters but those are the ones I use the most).
If I want, I can plug my desktop speakers into my iPhone and play TuneIn in my office. I can stream TuneIn into my car over 3G. I can get my favorite stations around the globe anywhere I can get a decent data signal which, these days, really is just about everywhere.
I still think Pandora is awesome but I wonder if their IPO might be letting the genie out of the bottle. The mob is fickle …
Hope you make it guys!
