Pandora

Pandora is a simple, clean and effective way to discover new music, based on songs and artists you like. Also, unlike Last.fm, you don't need to download anything. Now you can manually add multiple songs and artists to each channel to customize it. Another great feature is the ability to share your stations with your friends- just click on the station on the left and select "share." Note: Pandora has been showing more and more ads recently making the experience clearly not as good as rival Last.fm which is now, in my mind, a better choice.

Pandora decided to change its entire setup without an email, without training me how to use their newly edited system. Drove me nuts trying to figure out how to shuffle my rock stations. When you completely revamp your site, it might be WISE to let your USERS know how to continue using your SYSTEM!

I liked my pandora's design fine before. One thing they didn't include in their revamping was a way to drop stations into selected folders so you could just click a folder to play all. I have my quieter music and I have my rock. I have my celtic and country stations. It'd be easier to play all of my tracks of a certain type.

So all this revamping and they didn't make it more user-friendly. All they did was irritate me by completely changing how I play my tacks. And then I had to look through help just to work out how it works. Thanks Pandora, way to piss people off.

I subscribe to Pandora so we don't have to listen to ads. Annual price is very reasonable. Like the fact that you can have many different stations in different genres, and turn on shuffle so you get a variety of music. However, even though we are shuffling among about 15 stations i notice they are playing the same songs again and again. There is a pattern
Another irritating thing is that I have to "reload" it a couple times each day, about the same time everyday.
Apart from that I am happy

I'm a big fan of electronic music and often find myself messing around with creating new stations in order to find interesting music. Pandora has introduced me to some interesting musicians from around the world, but it does have a few limiting factors such as the limited number of skips. Some of the recommendations are way out in left field and it gets too settled into a specific type of music too easily. It can be hard to get it to give me something new for me to try since it is trying to only match me on stuff it knows I will like rather than experimenting with stuff I may not.

I think the idea of Pandora.com is wonderful. They allow you to easily search for different artists and also discover artists similar to the ones you select. I have spent countless hours on this site while working on the computer or just hanging out. The reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5: lately, I have felt the artists they have brought me have not had much relevance to the original artist I searched for. Overall, I do enjoy this site and will continue to use it occasionally.

I find Pandora's service to be exactly what I am looking for. I love the fact that you can add songs or artists to any station if the music starts to get repetitive. I use Pandora all the time and my only thing against it is that you have to pay if you go over 40 hours but really I don't mind supporting this service.

I would recommend Pandora to anyone who wants to listen to music for free without having to manage a playlist or if you want to find new artists in a genre of music you like.

I listened to music on Pandora for a long time, which would have been great. Except I can't directly pick a song to listen to, I can't make a playlist of songs, I can thumbs up, down, move, or skip songs I like, don't like, or want to hear later without having to sit though an add, and to top it all off if I want to have these features I have to pay for them. I thought that the constant ads might make it so you could I don't know not have to pay to have features that should be included. I understand that they exclaim "It's just like personalized radio!", Well Rdio, a website which used "radio" as the base for it's name, has all those features for free, unless you have their mobile app. Then to make matters and feelings worse, they are absorbing Rdio so that I am forced to deal with an unreliable, ad ridden, and money grubbing music site.

I think I love this site already! I've never used it before, but I want now! I like music a lot and I see Pandora offers so many songs to any taste. Besides it's very convenient as you can use this site everywhere.

I have been with Pandora for a few years and while they were forced to make changes to be compliant with the gods of the listening world, they bring all kinds of genre music to your ears. You choose. Before the change, customers could choose the song and artist they wanted to hear, now you can choose the artist and it will play that artist and similar artists. I was resistant at first because change is hard, but it has introduced me to other artists and songs so it forced me to broaden my listening pleasures. Another plus is when you have feedback or questions, it doesn't go unanswered. It's easy to set up. You won't be disappointed.
