<p>Has anyone here ever heard of it ? My daughter introduced me to it when she was home for break…now I am hooked.</p>
<p>You basically create your own radio station listening list…choose and artist and it provides music which you can listen to or reject based on the genre of music or artists they suggest based on the original artist you choose.</p>
<p>You can also set up several " radio stations " too. I used it at our recent holiday party in stead of my Ipod ( since the various music on there can differ in volume )</p>
<p>Just learned about this a couple of months ago at work and now it’s what I listen to at work where I don’t have Itunes!</p>
<p>It’s GREAT!!! I love how you can check “don’t like this song - don’t ever play it again” and “play more songs like this”. Also think it’s funny how every once in a while it pauses and asks you “are you still listening?”.</p>
<p>Very cool. Check it out! Very easy to set up. Great library of songs.</p>
<p>I’ve been using it for ages. It’s probably the most popular music channel at the office.</p>
<p>We have people with iTunes at the office too. What’s interesting is that you can choose to share your library with others so that others can listen to your library. When you run iTunes, it searches for network for public libraries and provides you with a list of them.</p>
<p>Pandora is nice in that you get more of a customized radio feel so that things come in randomly. You get exposed to new music but you can dump it quickly if you don’t like it.</p>
<p>Radio industry seems to be changing…my D’s roommate majors in radio and works for a station in Boston with high definition radio.
My listening area is the worst, by far I have ever been exposed to… so I have listened to my favorite radio station for years on line.
Pandora has exposed me to artists I would otherwise never hear in the Syberia or radio otherwise known as south Jersey / Philadelphia listening area</p>
<p>I like Pandora, but I can’t always get it to play the song I want. They don’t have everything in their catalog - but I’ve created some interesting stations that play songs by people I’ve never heard of before. My younger son has become a big fan of Finnish (and Scandanavian) metal music through Pandora.</p>
<p>I like the Roku Soundbridge. It will grab all the music off your hard drive plus grab stations from all over the world. You search by genre, etc.<br>
Less repetitive than XM and no monthly fee.
I’ve not used Pandora.</p>
<p>I’ve been using pandora for a couple of years. In fact, I think if you do a search of this forum you’ll see that I recommended it here when we were talking about something or other. My son introduced it to me when he started college.</p>
