It seems more apparent these days that music is losing genre and title. Companies such as Rhapsody amongst others are homogenizing the industry by grouping Led Zeppelin with Britney Spears, in a “virtual room” of music.
On one hand, music is for the masses so why can’t the masses feel free to choose whatever music they desire free from labels and categories?
The answer falls on how serious you take your music. For many individuals music opens doors that shape their mind and identity. Those individuals may or may not find what they are looking for in a virtual mega store like Rhapsody. The exposure to variety cant hurt but sometimes too much on the menu makes it difficult for you to find something to eat.
Pandora is a database that supposedly allows you to choose a band of your liking and instantaneously give you a break-down of similar bands you may also find interesting. Pandora has expanded to individual member listening rooms for people to log onto and hear what others are grouping together as their favorite artists. Thus opening the Pandora's Box of the music world!
