Music

Everyone loves music, especially college kids. I listen to music almost constantly: as I walk to class, eat a meal, dance with friends, etc. There's no getting away from music, and there is no reason to try.

Music permeates the lives of almost everyone, and as such, people demand more music. But college kids especially don't want the music they know or that everyone else knows, they want new music. The music industry has begun to change to service this need.

Web applications such as Pandora Radio and Spotify, have taken the place of traditional radio. These sites allow users to create playlists and stations that fit their individual tastes, and for FREE! Spotify even gives users the ability to create a cloud based music library, for no cost.

The infrequent ads are the only catch to these applications, but any music lover would tell you they would rather have more music for free – college students included.
