Getting in the Groove

I am finally getting with the program - I am listening to Yahoo launchcast. It's like having your own personal DJ. You go through a list of pre-selectedbands and select the ones you like. You then add a few more of your favorites for good measure. It will play those and similar songs (to expand your horizons). They choose the similar songs based on recommendations - did I mention you rate the songs as they play? This will indicate the frequency at which you are likely to hear it. Rating is just a click away. You can also skip to the next one if you don't like it. Very cool. The free station runs commercial ads but you can upgrade so you are not subjected to that (I hate having people talking over the radio - I would rather listen to silence)
