Customized Internet Radio

For all of the Pandora fans out there, you now have a competitor.

Grooveshark, an internet radio service that operates in a similar manner to Pandora, is another free online customizable internet radio service. Both radios operate based on the Music Genome Project, an operation designed to characterize music based on different tonal elements. Consequently, songs with similar musical elements are grouped together. As you rate the songs that are played, the radio will suggest future songs that fit your preferences.

In addition to a customizable preference index, Grooveshark allows a user to immediately play any song he or she wants through its search engine. You can check it out here.
