Being a music lover, I think that Jango is one of my favorite internet sites. Jango is kind of like having your own personal juke box. You simply create your own music station by typing in the names of your favorite artists and adding them to your station. Jango will then play songs from that artist on your station and add songs from artists that are similar in genre. The more songs that you add, the more you can customize your station. You then can save this station for the next time that you want to tune in and listen. You can also create more than one station. You have to sign up intially, which is free. Then you can start creating your own channels. As an example, I just created a new station which I named, "Saturday Night Listening." So, for starters, I typed in Michael Buble. From there, I let Jango do its thing. The next songs that it played for me were by Diana Krall, Frank Sinatra, Josh Groban, Norah Jones....which were all right up my alley. Then I saved this station so that the next time I go back, I already have my "Saturday Night Listening" music all ready to go. If I want to customize the music, I just type in the name of an artist that I like and add it to my station. Jango is pretty smart. It will continue to pick and choose more songs to play for you according to the artists that you add. You can also choose not to have it play songs and it will bypass those artists.
Okay, now let me really confuse you. There are other people who have saved their stations and you can tune in and listen to what they have chosen to listen to. You can also interact with them and get them to be internet friends. I haven't gone in that direction. I am happy to just bring up my Jango and click on one of my saved stations. I also get to hear artists that I probably never would have discovered on my own. (There are just so many hours in the day.)
So...go check it out. There isn't much not to like... Oops, they do throw in an occasional advertisement. Trust me, if you can watch TV with ads every 10 to 15 minutes, you can listen to one on Jango about once every 15 songs.
I hope that you enjoy Jango as much as I do. http://www.jango.com/
