I just wanted to take the time to talk about some music listening websites that I have encountered: Pandora and Grooveshark. It's so great that someone out there figured out what I like to call the poor man's ipod. These sites have a mind of their own that strangely enough can access your brain and figure out what kind of music you like. Yes, you are tied down to listening only when you have internet connection, but I don't want to be one of the constipods out there who are continually connected to their music library anyway.
So What?
So, I'm poor and I want an ipod too, but I just can't bring myself to buy one. There are ways to get things for free and I'm satisfied with Grooveshark. I began by listening to Pandora, but after an intense month of studying (the times I listen most) I used up all 40 of my listening hours with about 10 days in the month to spare. So switch to Grooveshark I did! And I like it better. It allows you to listen to any song, anytime, over and over again unlike Pandora. It suggests music for you better than Pandora ever did.
Now What?
I think Pandora was the first website to come up with this concept (correct me if I'm wrong), but it just comes to show that technology just improves upon itself as time goes on. We are so quick to jump on whatever new stuff is out there, but if you just have a little patience and do some research, you can find something that you are just as happy with and you have a couple extra bucks in your pocket to spend on your garden gnome collection. Do I still want an ipod? You betcha, but maybe that'll have to wait until I'm a rich teacher. . .
