[AccessD] OT: Slacker radio

...I've used Pandora for a couple of years now ...I think someone on OT 
pointed it out to me ...I get my music with different custom stations for my 
different moods and I've got it pretty well trained such that most of the 
new stuff it suggests I wind up liking ...much better than using seek on the 
FM dial :)
