Pandora Radio

Postby jellydonut25 » Thu May 26, 2011 4:23 pm

Anybody else ever use this?
I use it at work.

At first, I was VERY unimpressed: I put in Metallica, in the hopes that I could just let it run in the background and forget about it and I ran up my skipped tracks limit FAST (in order to keep it free, they limit the number of tracks you can skip)

Apparently, without further input, it thought Metallica = Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and AC/DC...nothing against most of those bands, but Metallica should run more towards Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Anthrax, Slayer, etc...


after adding those bands to the station I have, and making sure I thumb-up songs i like and thumb-down ones i don't, i now sometimes go a LONG time at work without skipping a track...(though as I typed up this post i had like 4 death-metal songs [yuck] come on in a row...)


anyway, Pandora radio, at the end of the day, it's an acceptable alternative to filling up my work computer with mp3s (especially since my music is so low as to be barely audible)...

Pandora is pretty decent. I don't use it often, but have it set up to play mostly Rob Zombie.

Not a work alternative, obviously, but I usually just use iTunes' radio stations. Has a lot of good ones on there.
