With regard to the article in Word August 2008, aren't we forgetting the wonderful www.pandora.com?

They have brought to my attention some truly wonderful music and made more of a dent in my wallet than LAST.FM could ever hope to. For example, The Nields, Tight Bros From Way Back When, The Free Design; Rose Melberg...

Pandora does what it oughtta should - simply playing you music that they think you'll like. They don't often get it wrong.

Regrettably, for copyright reasons, UK listeners are no longer tune in. But by downloading Hotspot Shield http://anchorfree.com/downloads/hotspot-shield/thank-you-GB/ one can sneak back in without a blip. Hooray!

Note: - Un-check the toolbar add-on option when installing, if you have any sense. And disable the thing for everyday browsing by right-clicking on the green taskbar icon.
