@ aboynamedboobs03 thanks you i love Andy McKee already!

Go to http://pandora.com/, create a free account (yes, free, and they don’t send any spam. I’ve used them for two years) and type in the name of an artist or song you like. I created a really good “station” by entering one artist, “Michael Hedges”, and Pandora cranked out song after song of acoustic instrumentals. You can add more artists or songs as “seeds” and it will adapt. Also, you can click the up or down thumb to help it learn the types of songs you like. My friend who introduced me to the station has a “Jack Johnson” station, which plays stuff similar to his style. Try it out!
