This is a must LOOK AT... Read about it below as the author describes it. Then below his story we tell about our experience and give you the how to do it. First you have to have hi-speed internet or it won't work. Now go and read.
On January 6, 2000 a group of musicians and music-loving technologists came together with the idea of creating the most comprehensive analysis of music ever.
Together we set out to capture the essence of music at the most fundamental level. We ended up assembling literally hundreds of musical attributes or "genes" into a very large Music Genome. Taken together these genes capture the unique and magical musical identity of a song - everything from melody, harmony and rhythm, to instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement, lyrics, and of course the rich world of singing and vocal harmony. It's not about what a band looks like, or what genre they supposedly belong to, or about who buys their records - it's about what each individual song sounds like.
Over the past 6 years, we've carefully listened to the songs of over 10,000 different artists - ranging from popular to obscure - and analyzed the musical qualities of each song one attribute at a time. This work continues each and every day as we endeavor to include all the great new stuff coming out of studios, clubs and garages around the world.
It has been quite an adventure, you could say a little crazy - but now that we've created this extraordinary collection of music analysis, we think we can help be your guide as you explore your favorite parts of the music universe.
We hope you enjoy the journey.

Ok that was a nice article. Here is what you get FREE. The senior mantra... It's FREE! The way it works can be tried out first. You don't have to download anything! just follow the link below and then when you get there click "create a new station".. You put in a song or composer that you like. Then it may start with say Neil Diamond then the next song it will play is one from him then their software goes out and selects a singer that is much like him and plays that song and so forth. As each song plays the album it came from is displayed. By placing the cursor on it it gives you a thumbs up or down option. Thumbs up and it continues to play... down and it ejects. Now it compares what you have said youlike and goes and finds more songs like it. Each time you click thumbs up or down it hones into what you really like and saves it.
Now the important feature ... click minimize and the site disappears on to your start tool bar and you can surf to all the other websites you want to go to while it plays your music. If a song comes up that is primo just click the tool bar icon and give it a thumbs up... If it's a stinker thumbs down. If it's just ok I let it play on with no input. It saves your choices for the next time you come back provided you sign up for a free account. There are more features but we will leave them for you to discover. Here is the link:
