Jango

Jango is a fresh and interesting spin on streaming radio. It brings a social networking dynamic that can be found elsewhere, but it sets itself apart from the rest of the pack because of its music-centric nature. The social network is just an added bonus. As you can imagine, you have the option to add friends and listen to their playlists or âC~tune into’ their stream whenever you like. Build a rockin station and see who is listening in.

Editing your stations is neat since you can add artists to an existing station or delete suggestions from Jango and then rate songs from each artist so you hear what you want to hear and not what you don’t.

In April 2008, Jango partnered with Panther Express for the delivery of its audio and rich media.

In early 2009 however, Jango switched to Voxel dot net for its global media delivery services.

Competitors include Pandora and Last.fm.

Hmmm..where do I begin? First of all, excellent site for enjoying fantastic music, art, culture and fellowship with amazing people willing to share their lives and incredible stories from all around the world. Having said that- Sweet Lord, what is up with those stomach churning pop ups of wes moss and zune pass? Nothing personal, but is he the anti-christ? Killing the music like that is equivalent to snatching a flower out of a child's hand or yanking the wig off of Aretha Franklin while she's singing "RESPECT". Not good! My mind is already swirling with visions of Starbursts, abused pets, stained yellow teeth - enough with the commercials already! Fix that and the teeth grinding software glitches and you got yourself a pearl!

I was first introduced to Jango by searching the web for lyrics to a Pat Travers song. I came across this funky website, and thought that it might be fun to create a station, and listen to other people's stations and read people's profiles and view their pictures. Unbeknownst to me, would I find the one and only TRUE LOVE of my life here! There may be a few distractions on Jango, like interruptions by the way of Wes Moss and other particulars, but all in all, I owe Jango the greatest of humble thanks for introducing me to my future wife! Despite what other people say, I love Jango!

jango is alienating its listeners by interrupting the music with annoying pop ups of wes moss and zune pass. people who are unable to get to the computer to restart the music after these pop ups are not able to resume listening because the pop ups freeze the web page until you x it out. long story short people are starting to leave jango and search else where for listening pleasure

Doesn't Jango.com's new Airplay seem quite a bit like their old ways at shady Adware/Spyware company Direct Revenue?

Love the service! And no, the site is absolutely safe. Still worried? Check out siteadvisor's ratings and reviews! :-) http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/jango.com

I'd be weary of using Jango. These are the guys behind jango = the same peoploe behind Direct Revenue (directrevenue.com: Jango CEO Daniel Kaufman, Jango CTO Chris Dowhan, Jango CPO Mattias Stanghed all ran Direct Revenue - search Wikipedia to find out more) that was sued by the state of New York for their adware that took over people's machines. Does any one know if they are placing software on Jango users' machines yet?
