The opened box
One of the neater sites I've come across recently, Pandora allows you to discover plenty of new music cost-free. You input a song or an artist you know you enjoy, and by associating this artist or song with similar songs via comparions drawn from the Music Genome Project, Pandora finds you other music you're likely to enjoy. For instance, I just formulated a "Sufjan Stevens Radio Station", and "Sister Ice" by Archer Prewitt began to play. What's neat is that I can give "Sister Ice" a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, which affects the songs that Pandora will play for you in the future. It's like a Choose Your Own Adventure through music. The sound quality isn't bad at all. If you don't mind the occasional ad, it's free.

Sounds interesting. I've always been afraid to download music from the internet for two reasons: A, I don't know how to do it, and B, I heard it's a good way to get a computer virus.

Pandora isn't a download service, actually; it's a streaming music site. You tune in, but don't download anything onto your computer. Fast and clean.
