We’re pleased to present Tim Westergren on our show tonight!  Tim is the creator/founder of the website Pandora, but is also a talented composer and producer.  He got his BA from Stanford, where he studied recording technology and computer acoustics.  Currently he travels the country promoting Pandora and gathering music for the Music Genome Project.

Pandora is a great website where you can create your own ‘stations’ that play music that is very similar to the music you already like.  It’s a great way to discover new artists or classics you haven’t yet heard.  You can share stations and songs with other users, and if you like what you’re hearing, it’s easy to purchase the music through links to major online music outlets.  Also, the site is free!  I really enjoy using it.
