If you have never heard of it, Pandora is a free online streaming music website (there is a paid version, more on that later). After you create an account with the service, you setup your own personal radio stations,customized to your liking. As you tell it “I don’t like this song”, and “I like this song”, the program starts to learn your tastes in music and will only play songs that cater to you. There is also a Pandora application for every major smartphone, which means you can listen to your personal radio stations at the gym or in your car, and it even works on Sonos!
Now, when it comes to paid and free versions, here is the difference.
Free: 40 hours of free music a month, limited song skips per hour, and ad sponsored pages.

Paid: Unlimited Listening, No Ads, Higher Quality Audio, increased song skips, custom skins for the website, and the best feature (in my opinion) the Pandora Desktop application.
The Pandora Desktop application runs on Adobe Air, just like one of my other favorite applications TweetDeck. It allows you to run Pandora without logging into their website. You can set it to run automatically when you log in to Windows and immediately jump into your radio station.
So for anyone that is starting to find their Mp3 or CD collection a little stale, I recommend giving Pandora a try.
