It's awesome how it plays a lot of new/obscure artists to whom you wouldn't normally be exposed on mainstream radio.

I have kind of already got bored of it. It always repeats the same bands and their same songs after a while. The only thing its good for is discovering new bands but when you have already gone around their loop its all over.

I absoultely love Pandora. I've found tons of music I love that I wouldn't have even considered listening to before. For the most part, the music suggestions seemed to match up with what I like. But then occassionally a song would come up that was nothing like what I wanted. That's easily solved by giving it a thumbs down though. The more music you listen to and rate, the more accurately it works. Definitely good if you seem to be stuck in a music rut.

I had stumbled upon pandora back when it first pretty much started, but never bothered to get into it and configure everything so it knew what i truely liked.

However, this summer I work at a web development company on a computer thats not really mine. So all my wonderful music doesnt travel that well with me. I was just brining in my mp3 player and pluging into the speakers, but theres always those days I forget the carger and its dead on battery, or I forget it at home. Then I re-discovered Pandora and have been using it since.

Its great listening to music i enjoy without comercials and the ability to skip every once and awhile if its somethign i dont enjoy. Also allows to to discover some new songs while I'm at work .

I really wish I could listen to pandora while I was driving, I hate the radio stations that have like 10 minutes of straight comercials, only to discover they will play a song I hate with a passion.

I have tried, using pandora, to get a station that plays clasic hymns, preludes and postludes based on such hymns, and the like. Hymns like: A Mighty Fortress is Our God; Songs of Thankfulness and Praise; Jesus Christ Is Risen Today; Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice; Go to Dark Gethsemane; I Come Oh Savior to Thy Table; Blest Be the Tie That Binds; etc. I do have a number of CDs with such music, if there is a way for me to submit them and you can use them, I will. Many Christian colleges and universities and seminaries have excenent choirs that record such music. I highly recomend the recordings made by the Concordia Theological Seminary Kantor. 

Blessings in Christ,

I tried using the site but it won't allow users outside of the U.S.
That's true about genre's anyway. All these genres really are,
are creations of record company marketers.
The music industry really prevents people from listening to music,
rather than making it available. That's why I no longer listen to the radio anyway.

All the music in the world is the size of an ocean, yet all the music industry makes available
is a mere trickle, yet they can convince people what to like through the power of brainwashing.
The sooner the music industry dies the better. Return the music to the people.
