pandora app
Pandora has released a version of its popular internet service for the iPhone. The new app brings users CD-quality tracks in the form of a personalized radio station. A user must simply enter the name of an artist, song or composer and then within seconds Pandora will build a "station" that plays the music the user entered along with music that is similar in style. With each song users are also given the option of tagging the song with a thumbs up or down to further fine tune and customize the created station. The iPhone app also supplies users with a link to buy any song that is being listened to in the iTunes WiFi store.
The Pandora internet radio app can be found in the App Store on the iPhone or through iTunes but is currently only available in select countries depending on the host countries music-licensing restraints.

CD-quality? no, but...
I love Pandora--their product is excellent and their customer service is superb--and I'm very excited about the new iPhone app. But they don't deliver CD-quality music, unless you listen to some very cut-rate CDs. 64kbps AAC is quite listenable, but noticeably compressed.
