Pandora www.pandora.com

I listen to all sorts of music and I like to stay current with my favorite artists. Pandora is horribly outdated, playing old music. Dave Matthews has at 10 Albums, if not more, but Pandora only plays music from his first 2 or 3 albums, never his new stuff. Same goes for Eric Tingsdale, Michael Stribling, Will Ackerman, and many more. If you're stuck in the past and don't care about the new music your favorite artists are releasing, then Pandora will certainly stifle you.

I listen to it often. It seemed at first when you selected an artist you never heard their music but Pandora has gotten much better at playing the music of the actual artist you select and not having so many commercials.

Hi!

I don't want to fill out information so that you can email me or send me advertising. If you are asking something from me it is not free. G. Gaetz

I had grown tired of buying music from iTunes and was looking for a site that actually offered free music-what a concept! Then I found Pandora.com and have never gone back to iTunes. Pandora is great. For instance, you put in a song that you like, and Pandora will then suggest to you other songs similar to the song that you like. You end up creating an entire playlist of songs that you love. If Pandora starts playing a song you don't like, you just say you don't like it and Pandora then suggests another song. You can upgrade to the paid service which takes out the advertisements for $36 per year, but the free service is just fantastic.

Subscribe to Pandora so we don't have to listen to ads. Annual subscription price is very reasonable. We're retired so we listen all day, everyday. 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 we notice they are playing the same songs over and over. We can almost tell you what time of day we will hear each song. Another irritating thing is we hae to "reload" (or answer to "are you still listening?) a couple times each day, about the same time everyday. This is a problem because we aren't always at the computer; we have it connected to wireless speakers in other parts of the house. Except for these irritations, we are pleased with the service.

I use pandora every day. I love it because it's free to use and it helps me at work.

I don't like, that you have to pay in order to become a member for unlimited music, yet you're still not allowed to pass that 6 skips an hour limit.

Sometimes the variety is lacking, but they have been adding more songs so that's good. :D

Another thing I don't like is how when I try to say that i'm bored of a song, it won't play for another month HOWEVER, there will be a different version for it.

Example: I'm bored of "Until the Day I Die by Story of the Year" so it won't be played for 1 month, but then an hour later i get the SAME SONG, but it's "live" so, it doesn't count as the one i clicked bored for. So I have to waste TWO out of the 6 skips they give you for thats.

Good concept. Love how it works. Just needs a little tweaking. :D

Pandora plays rock, alternative, indie, classic rock, folk rock and many other similar genres. If you want the mainstream teeny bopper girl/boy bands chart stuff, this is not for you. If you want to listen to real music made by people who can play instruments instead of just doing karaoke and choreographed dance moves, this is for you.

Really like that there is not pop up ads loading every two minutes. It runs pretty easily on my work pc.
