Mercora comes gunning for Pandora and LastFM

So today I turned my browser away from Pandora and tried something new for a while, Mercora. For the life of me I cannot get the name right but I have a feeling I will be visiting this website a little more. Three things really stand out using Mercora. The first is the ability to search by an artist and have at your disposal all of the network’s songs at your pleasure. I found more songs to put into my iTunes que than a whole month of listening to Pandora, and thats just in one day. The second is the ability to listen to a “DJ” which plays like music that matches your taste. The interesting part is that after listening to the music for a while you become your own DJ. The third is the ability to stream Mercora music to any smartphone, with great success. Pandora is only now starting to enter this market with sprint.
At the end of the day Mercora has eclipsed LastFM, and successfully streamed music that I wanted all day without the slightest bit of interaction. The biggest downfall of Mercora is the user interface which while pretty misses the simplicity of Pandora. Its like someone combined KaZaa, iTunes, and Pandora and mixed in a LastFM like interface. Trying to figure out which song you are listening to and what song is next is a little confusing, and on occasion some of the songs I listened to had some audio strangeness going on. Neither one of these issues kept me from listening all day to Mercora, I attribute it more to a learning curve than anything. This is definetally a must visit site.

Got something to say?
bookmarked buddy thanks! nice find.
Wow how could I NEVER have seen this before! I have to say I am kinda confused on the song playing thing.
Rock on, is that Ryan Adams? I love his Wonderwall song. You should write more stuff about music, music plus techy sounds dorky yet sooo cool.
Pandora rocks because it is simple, the end.
iTunes is for loosers everyone knows all the best music isFREE
