Absolutely. We live charmed lives for sure. That's why I can't help rolling my eyes when somebody posts on Twitter that they're upset the regional airport they're flying through doesn't have a Starbuck's (as an example, although that really happened). We should count our blessings.Originally posted by JuleZ '02 HEEL:
When you think about it, it's amazing to even be having that conversation. Wasn't that long ago that if you wanted to listen to music you didn't own, you had one option - the radio, and limited to what was within AM or FM range in your area. Now you can listen to just about any radio station in the world online, plus all these different streaming services, plus stuff like NPR's All Songs Considered.
Raising, use Spotify and Last.fm for this function. You will discover stuff you haven't heard of, that is similar to your likes [you input parameters or a song or band]Originally posted by Raising Heel:

I'd love a music service that exposes me to more new music based on bands I like. Theoretically, Pandora does this. But my experience has been that Pandora will play maybe 30-40 new songs outside stuff I already know and then that's it. The circle doesn't get any wider than that.
I don't just want to hear the songs I already know/own all day. How well do other services do with new recommendations?
Absolutely agree. A Spotify/last.fm combo works really well. You can connect spotify with your last.fm account and it will keep track of what you play and will give you recommendations (AKA Scrobbling).Originally posted by TarHeelNation11:
