Pandora for iPhone/iTouch and Android

Pandora is one of the best music applications that I have used.  What is Pandora?  Pandora is a streaming "radio" application that's available on your iPhone/iTouch.  It's also available on the web.  I think the makers of Pandora have translated this app from the web to the iPhone/iTouch very well.  How does it work?
Pandora works by you first selecting a genre or song title or an artist that you want to listen to.  You can type in this genre, artist, or song title.  It then plays songs based on 400 different attributes of what you typed in.  As a song plays, you can tell Pandora if you like it by either clicking a thumb up or thumb down.  Based on this, Pandora figures what your music taste is and adjusts accordingly.  You can create as many of your own stations as you like and listen to mixes from them.  It's called their "quick mix(es)."

When you hear a song playing, you can "bookmark" and favorite the song.  You can view a list of the songs you made as your favorite and later purchase them online.

I like Pandora because it has introduced me to many new artists and genres that I would have never listened to before finding Pandora.  The music quality is excellent.
