Steve Krause writes an interesting article on the strengths and weaknesses of two of the coolest music sites happening right now. Both sites are attempting to show you new music that it thinks you will enjoy based on your listening habits. Both work amazingly well and this article gives some insight into how they do the things they do.

Re: Pandora and Last.fm

I recently discovered Pandora. It is beautiful how one song fades into another when you switch it. It also doesn't take any time to load or any of the bullshit that you get from myspace or any other source of music.
