Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream... :)

Whee! This unit was really fun. I particularly enjoyed setting up my own personal station on Finetune, where I had the opportunity to personally select the exact songs that I wanted. In trying out Pandora, where music is suggested for you based on what you like, it didn't quite meet my satisfaction. Made me realize just how particular I am in the music that I listen to.

For about a year now I have enjoyed listening to various online radio stations, and am a regular listener. I like how it has allowed me the opportunity to experience of sampling different kinds of music I might not have been able to experience otherwise, as well as listen to and request favorite independent artists who are outside of the mainstream. I think these online music sites are allowing more opportunities for such artists to be heard on a more global scale and can only serve to benefit them, encouraging the direct purchase and download of their songs. As a lifelong music lover I think this is terrific.

And now I can't turn the damn thing off. You've created a monster. Hee. Dance, little avatar, dance!

Rock on!! :)
