The Music Genome Project

What if you can have a radio station that plays music that is especially tuned to your taste? It won't just play a list of songs that you already know. It'll also play a whole lot that you haven't. Welcome to the Music Genome Project, where music analysts have catalogued miniscule characteristics and data points of over 500,000 thousand songs. All are connected to an application called, Pandora. When you sign up at Pandora.com, the application will feed you tunes based on the "DNA" or attributes of the songs you like -- whether it is the singer's voice, a certain beat, or the epic sound of the electric guitar. Now you don't need a DJ or a music executive to tell you what you should be listening to. Go ahead, just open up your own Pandora's box.
