Save Pandora

The web has created some wonderful new tools and services. One of my favorite toys over the past 5 years has been Pandora internet radio. It is such a cool tool.

It has turned me on to new music some of which I have bought and would never have even considered. Now the RIAA and other music "owners" are going to shutter the site. Already it is not available outside of the USA - now it looks like the fees to be charged will put the site out of business.

So once again the traditional models win. I really will be sorry to see it go. I really love the site. I have 3 stations set up. It allows me to reflect my mood and sense. It is so easy to set up and use.
