# Open the box on new music

A very interesting music subscription service has opened up recently. [Pandora.com](http://www.pandora.com) has indexed the musical "styles" of a crapload of music, some popular, some not-so-popular. The really cool thing about this particular service is that you can create multiple "channels" by seeding it with the name of a band or a song. It'll then analyze that song and deliver in your channel songs with similar musical qualities.  
  
It's really quite good at what it does: Pick your favourite song and create a channel based on that...I've been listening to my [<span style="font-weight: bold;">Eric's Trip</span>](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric%27s_Trip) and [<span style="font-weight: bold;">Chixdiggit</span>](http://www.chixdiggit.com) channel for most of the morning, and I've heard maybe two songs I didn't like.  
  
[Give it a try.](http://www.pandora.com) Unless you're on dial-up :P
