A couple of little things...
As with most of the software we release at Pandora, tonight's update has a few little features that our listeners have been dropping in our suggestion box since day one.
Most notably, you can now rate a song with a single mouse click. No more "Guide Us" or album-art-menu to contend with. Just mouse over the song you want to rate, and click the thumb graphic that pops up. It's that simple. Hard to believe it took us nearly 8 months to get that right.
We've also added the ability to create a new station from any artist you encounter while listening. So let's say that a great song comes along from Rhett Miller while you're listening to your carefully tuned Alt County station. To start a new station influenced by just Rhett's sound, click the song menu and select "New Station: from artist" and we'll instantly create a new station for you.

I can't believe that you've managed to make me stop listening to my IPod at work. This is great and thank you.

I have a song you guys should really add, it's Kylie by Akcent. It is totally awesome.

Excellent upgrade. I noticed immediately.
We lived in Brasil many years ago and have not been easily able to stay current with their great popoular musicians. Your service does this for us.
The upgrade has certainly increased the number and range of musicians whose works you provide.
Many thanks!

how about searching by genre,ie brazilian. I don't know any artist names so it is hard to check.
Ilove your site I told 5 people the first hour I found you.
Thanks

Pandora has provided me with many beautiful momments of listening pleasure. As a result of the enjoyment, I have recomended Pandora to several others so they too may have similar enjoyment.
Thanks for whatevery you do to make listening such an enjoyable experience.
Incidently, I am not getting sound this morning. Is there a reason at Pandora for the failure to hear the music?

Dig It!!!

Wow, I'm absolutely amazed that I've managed to find a free way to discover new music other that watching VH1 or MTV music videos all day long. Great work!

Mary Ann got there before me but it would be great to search by genre. I am a World Music fan and I'm sure that Pandora could help me find musicians I admire but whose names I can't spell. Other criteria including country - as in Benin, Botswana, Brazil etc, date (year/month) of issue (that would make it easier to determine a playlist for a birthday and perhaps length of track - I might need some mellow tunes that last at least 10 minutes or a variety that are all under 3 minutes, Will searching by artist reveal significant session musicians, members of the band &/or the producer?
Working from home has just become even more attractive - thank you very much!

Pandora is unbelievable....Thanks personal DJ

The Pandora Radio came as part of the DSL Earthlink package. Before then, I'd never heard of you. (you really need to get word out) Thank God this old "die-hard" finally decided to get away from dial-up AOL over to DSL with Earthlink and found you. Absolutely a triple A rating above and beyond Radio AOL, Real Player, Windows Media Player, etc, . . .
As an avid music lover of many genres, your doing GREAT. Give yourselves an extra pat on the back for me.
