[brlug-general] Music Services.

[Dustin Puryear]

For music-at-work, I like http://www.pandora.com. There are others,
but I like the randomness of it once you teach it the general theme
you like. I have radio stations ranging from Fluke to Red Hot Chili
Peppers. Once a radio station gets an idea of what you like, it
introduces you to new bands.

Amazon.com has a huge selection of music. Between that and
cdwarehouse.com, I can pretty much find anything I want minus a few
random labels.
