Aaaaaaaaaaah, Windows.
Aaaaaaaah, Windows.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, there I was; researching threads and websites with a couple pages open so I could refer back to them, a couple pages of links reduced to the tray so I could go to them later.............. And I decided I wanted music, so I clicked on Pandora, and.............. The damn computer shut itself off! Deader than a doornail....off. Strange. |
It didn't like Pandora so I gave it a........Panther.
The cooling fan died and killed the power supply, so I bought a Panther 450 watt for $38.23 from Fry's. There's a $10.00 rebate. I love the competition of Capitalism! |

Pandora is ok. I've found Slacker to be far better.
Pandora disassembles my music choices into things that I don't understand - partial rhythmic syncopation, 4/3 timing, whatever. It then picks one of those characteristics and plays stuff I don't want to hear based on it. Slacker does much better. I think it's user-driven; I think it keeps track of user's voting of like/dislike and relates that to other songs. So, if I type in something I want to hear, and everyone else who requested that song liked another song, it will play that other song for me. Whatever's on the back-end, it works. I get introduced to a lot of new music and I get to hear what I want. |
I asked, because I wanted to make a station of just; "God Bless America" and they told me they do what they do because of the copyright laws.

Get a good power supply for goodness sake.
