Pandora

Pandora is a superstar. I like the method of selection and the control that you have with some other music streaming applications, but the amount of music and variety of channels and genre's, as well as the updatability of their database. The mobile app and the option to pay to opt out of ads is a plus. These are things that come with the territory of being a leader in the game. It's not my favorite music streaming website out there, but it is easy to use, well known, fresh, streamlined and all in all a good product packaged well.

I like the music library Pandora has to offer. I use the free app. I have tried to create different playlists with different genres. It is possible to put requests in, but those songs may never be added. I find it frustrating that liking a song by a random artist can send the playlist onto a totally different track. You should be able to dislike a song for that playlist without it being deleted from possible songs for you. Overall it is a fine way to listen to music.

Pandora is a great website for those interested in listening to a variety of songs similar to an artist that they enjoy. It's a free service with a limited amount of time to listen to that will get you started with the option of paying a yearly fee to have unlimited listening time, the ability to skip more songs, and to download their application. The website contains a lot of information about artists, access to a large number of artists, and a variety of different genres. The biggest con of the website is the fact that it's available only to US users and is unavailable outside of the United States, but there are devices that are able to connect to the service and stream. The application runs in Adobe's multi-OS platform allowing for it to playback in Windows and Mac, but it also runs in Linux with very few problems even without it being listed as compatible.

Overall, the service is great and the quality of the music is great. The information is accurate.

I really enjoy listening to Pandora, moreso than I do listening to something like SiriusXM. I like that you can thumbs up/down tracks, and their suggestions for music I might enjoy are usually pretty on-point.

My qualms: They should pay the artists more when they play their songs (but all streaming services are guilty of paying bands abysmally), and also the frequency of the ads drives me crazy - but I'm too cheap to pay for the premium service.

I can't live without this website! I love the music selections they mix in, and since I'm a music freak I love discovering new music everytime I turn on Pandora.

The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because recently something very odd has been happening. I'll have a rock station on (forgot which one), and all of a sudden WHAM! I get attacked by "Epic Rap Battles of History" and then I have to sit there and listen to Billy Mays and Chuck Norris battle it out rap style... or Justin Beiber and Beethoven bash out each other's music. This usually leaves me trying to catch my breath because I'm laughing so hard, and gets the stupid raps stuck in my head for two weeks after hearing them. And then everytime I listen to Beethoven I'll remember him telling Justin Beiber, "I'd slap you, but in Germany we don't hit little girls!"

Soooo yeah. Great! Now I have Darth Vader vs. Hitler stuck in my head. Damn you Pandora!

"Are you still listening?" OMG, I was so tired of Pandora just shutting off, to ask that question. Well, yes, I WAS LISTENING, until you just quit!
That is Pandora's way of trying to get you to PAY MONEY, and "upgrade". Well, NO, not when I can go elsewhere to get the music I want to listen to all day at work. I must say that Jango is so much better! (middle finger lifted on the way out...)

I listen to Pandora daily while at the office. However, today I was disturbed by an endorsement by 45 for a candidate in California.

I listen to Pandora because I do not want to hear anything political, especially ANYTHING having to do with 45 and his administration! I will not be listening to Pandora anymore, because as they have a right to advertise what they want, I have also have a choice to cancel my prescription and take my money elsewhere.

You blew it!

They followed my teenage daughter and I in the Cherry Creek Mall Pandora as soon as we came in even though we bought something. Totally ignored the white couple who came in to browse. My daughter had never experienced this before and was so confused. After leaving a complaint, store manager called to apologise but made it worse with a dismissive attitude. I would never step back in this store again and I urge anyone of colour, watch where you shop. RACIAL PROFILING SEEMS TO BE ALIVE AND WELL HERE.
