Like a band? Want more songs by the band or want to hear some bands that sound just like them? USE PANDORA. Its free, and when I used it it was really really really good and user-friendly

Yeah, i've used this before long ago. It doesn't always catch everything but what it does catch gives very nice results.

Doesn't really work for me.  There was another site that actually was able to match up some rarer stuff, I forgot the URL though.  It was mostly an online store, so it wasn't really popular for that feature..

I forgot about this, and am so glad you reminded me. It finds songs I absolutely LOVE, as well as some old ones i've forgotten about.

I put in "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind. It finds awesome songs in the same style =D.

Have it playing right now  and been listing before I visited this site. You will not be able to discover new music with it. It will just play the same songs that you have rated as good over and over.

Its better than radio though so, I'm sticking with it while I look for someone who does Internet radio right.

How to nab the Pandora files as mp3s.

The files are on your computer anyway, and you can find them easily enough, but this program just goes ahead and places them wherever you want and then gets all the metadata automatically.

Edit: Instead, go to Start > run: %temp% and look for a file that says plgtmp-#-# (if you open the folder up before the song loads, it will be at the bottom of the folder). 

The first number just corresponds to the latest folder that holds the pandora .swf, the second number corresponds to the order that you played the song.  Just label the file as .mp3 (or open it up in windows media player and choose the "save as" option) and move it somewhere else.

These files won't stay in that folder forever, so be sure to grab them before you close Pandora.

Thank you, bja for warning me about the change.

They changed version about 3 days ago. It might not work any more.
