Thing #17: Music Streaming & Sharing

We sell earbuds at Circulation for $1.00??? I wasn't aware of this. Well, I'll come back to this "thing" so I can complete it at home. I just wanted all my things in order, so I decided to create a post that I'd come back to edit.

----------------------------------

EDIT: 

Guess who the latest owner of a brand, spanking, new pair of ear buds is?!?!

And only for a dollar!

I know, it's hard to believe...but yes...it's meeeee!!!

Why such excitement? Because Pandora is awesome!!! (Plus, I love a great bargain. They sell earbuds at Wal-Mart for waaaay more than a dollar.) As for Pandora, it's up there with LibraryThing. (Don't get me wrong though, my heart belongs to LibraryThing...I have a feeling my husband's will belong to Pandora as soon as I show it to him.)

It turns out our Blu-Ray player is also equipped to stream music from Pandora.

Extra points for Pandora!

It was super easy to use from the start and the suggestions were great! For those who aren't as musically savvy (such as myself), I really appreciate recommendations.

In terms of what this has to do with our patrons:

I think CD's will continue to be checked out--for now at least. Even though Pandora offers the ability to save music, it's still nice to have a copy of your favorites on your computer (or on actual CD). Also, my good ol' car (aka "The Grey Phantom") currently only lets me listen to the radio or CD's. So, even with Pandora, I wouldn't be able to listen to it while driving. OH! And let's not forget the benefit of having music on your computer so you can customize playlists and burn CD's for those you love...I believe they were called "Mix Tapes" back in the day. hehe...

In conclusion...

Pandora = Two Thumbs Up
