What did you like or dislike about the tool? What were the site’s useful features?
I've been playing with Pandora for a while now and I think it's really fun. I impute my favorite songs and artists and then it spits out other songs and artists that have a similar sound. I have already found some new favorites. If you finda new song you like, it will link you to Itunes to purchase. Sometimes it pulls up stuff that isn't so great - but you can vote if you don't like and it won't play it again. A downside is that if you're only allowed so many "skips" in a session. They want to just sit and listen - which would be great if you liked all the songs! All in all, it's pretty fun and you can listen to good tunes while you're on the computer!
Could you see any applications for its use in a library setting?
Yeah, this could be a fun feature - especially in a teen section. What would be neat if there could be a computer, with speaker, dedicated to Pandora. A patron could type in a favorite song and then could get other fun songs to listen to. Well, this could also be a reference tool as well - if you wanted to wait for a bit for the results!
