It's not radio. It's music discovery. My bad.

In my Pandora.com post, below, I leaped to the conclusion that Pandora is more Web competition for radio. Now I've discovered--by bookmarking the site--that the Pandora people don't think of themselves as radio at all. Here's their "description" blurb:

Pandora is the music discovery service that helps you find new music based
on your old and current favorites. Listen for free.

Check out their purpose--at the Music Genome Project. Imagine--programming music based on how it sounds, rather than how it tests. How silly is that?

So, O.K., radio guys, you can stop worrying about this one. Except that it's gonna run commercials.
