Just wanted to suggest a group that you should add to your project--Seabound. A great group from Germany.

Also wanted to let you know that I LOVE pandora.com and have become totally addicted.

All the best,

Erica

I had heard that you guys use Internap for some of your bandwidth. I've been a happy Internap customer for years and was wondering if that was true? IF so, are you in their datacenter or do you just use their performance IP? Do you use their Flow Control Platform? I imagine there are many techniical considerations to making Pandora work as smoothly as it does. Keep up the good work.

YOU GUYS F--CKIN ROCK!!!!!!!!

I have never seen a website dedicated to music as complete as yours...ROCK ON MOFO!!!

There is always the real thing:

Pandora's amazing.... you guys are f'n awesome... If you're adding more music and get around to rap. Try adding Saigon, he's on of the best lyricists around and will blow up within the next two years....

PANDORA kicks ass!

wow, heard bout this station from one oe mah good friendz an will neva leave it!!! HELL YA YOU PIPM PANDORA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you pandora! will you marry me?

I stumbled upon Pandora while surfin music. . which I do quite a lot . . .but you guys have now cramped my surfin action. . .I keep comin' back to Pandora. I'm hooked. Keep up the great work!

I'm soooo tired but I can't turn you guys off. This site absolutely kills.

PLEASE DON'T CHANGE. ALWAYS BE FREE. I DON'T RECORD CD'S ARE EVEN BUY THEM. THIS IS GREAT FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME. WHEN YOU GET ON THE INTERNET IF IT SAY'S IT'S FREE, YOU KNOW THAT MEANS FOR A FREE WEEK OR SOME BULL. I KNOW YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE ADS BEFORE LONG. DO IT WITH NOT HAVING THE ADS LOUDER THAN THE RADIO.

i just want to say this site is the best. i have heard alot of online stations. they are all the same. they play the same song a thousand times. here if you don't like it, you don't have to hear it again. for that you are #1.

Tom,
You Hit A Homerun....
Are you planning on touring Florida this year at all?

SP

Det er et fantastisk godt program, hvor man kan lytte til den musik, som man selv vælger. Kan det blive bedre...
I simply love PANDORA

If you need to do maintenance, just do it. We all have to be grateful, don't worry if your servers are in read mode only.
Keep up the good work

You guys are the BEST!!!

You guys ROCK!!
Never change!

is there a support centre for pandoraholics? i'm cracking up...

Just wanted to let you know what a GREAT idea this is...love it! Listen at work all day long!

Man I can't tell you how Pandora has made my work day so much more enjoyable. working 9 to 10 hour days are tough enough But now that I have my new best friend - Pandora, its a lot easier to handle and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Thanks Pandora!! You have given me a whole new lease on life about music! I've often listened to various genres, without really knowing who played what - and whenever I wanted something to add to my iPod, I wouldn't know what to look for. You've given me what I've been looking for. Keep it going - you've got a customer/listener for LIFE! Peace!

great job

Thanks again for keeping us posted.
If every corporation were as careful and courteous about letting its customers know what was going on BEFORE they had to ask, the world would be a MUCH happier place.
Ever think of turning the Pandora Approach to Customer Communication into some sort of training seminar for companies? (Joke. Sort of.)
As usual, I am glad to see you are thriving and look forward to seeing - I mean, HEARING - what you all do next.

p.s. I just got a "reload" message, I assume this is related to the change?

Oh! Oh! I just reloaded and I see at least one of the changes.

You have fixed one of my teeny weeny very petty pet peeves in your usual clever and elegant way.

Have I said you all are brilliant recently?
BRILLIANT I say.

Pardon me, I must dance about in front of the computer.

jay

no competition,you guys are kick ass!!!!!!!!

Good upgrade, but the music industry got you: You cut short the song skipping from ten to two per hour. Which makes it like any other radio station on the internet.

Hi Tom,

You can skip six times per hour on Pandora. You are right that this is a change -- it had been ten per hour. We recently received updated information about what was acceptable in this regard and it's important to us to respect the artist, labels, and rights societies wishes with respect to this dimension of the service. We do not anticpate having to change this again in the future.

Tom
CTO @ Pandora

Sure, you should indeed respect artist, labels, and rights societies.

I created new stations now and as I said, there are only two skips, not six.

This is quite literally the most exciting music resource I've seen in a long time. Cheers.

If you're ever in need of a print designer, please feel free to contact me. I work in advertising as well as freelance in the music industry.

Keep up the good work.

Hi again tom,

Wow... we really owe you one. Not at all sure how this slipped through the cracks but you are entirely right. It certainly wasn't our intent - that's a bug.

Apparently the problem only happens right after you create the station; if you reload the website you'll get the full six.

We're starting work on a fix right now.

Thanks again,

Tom

so far, I'm digg'en Pandora compared to the others I've supported for a short time....

Hi all,

We've fixed the skip limit problem. You can skip six songs per hour as designed now. Thanks so much to Tom for helping point out the problem.

CTO @ Pandora

Hey Pandora Staff:

Congrats your now 14th on google for the search term "internet radio". When I first searched for pandora it was several pages into the results (and I have my results set to 100 per page lol). Keep up the good work. Your well on the way to blowing all competition out of the water.

i like this station so far please keep up the good work thank you virginia jones

the new additions are just great! thanks so much for all the hard work and the wonderful creation that is pandora!

I was wondering why you guys dont make a user interface for some of the more popular interfaces such as Windows MCE available for premium users or somthing of the sort. I would really enjoy being able to listen to pandora in my living room without having to go buy a slingbox and set it up when i already have a computer sitting there. Otherwise, love the project and i wish it were around about 20 years ago when i was just getting into music. Darn internet and its slow progression :)

Keep up the great work

This is the best music discovery/listening service I've encountered though not perfect, but what is? My only REAL problem at this point is that I'm unable to access the definitions of shared stations. I know it's temporary, but wanted to throw this stone in your shoe to encourage rapid resolution of the glitch. Keep up the great work!

I wanted to leave you a note to tell you how much i love your site. I think that this is a great idea, and it works wonderfully. It is so nice to finally have acess to an online radio station that plays music not only in relation to what you specify in your intrest category, but also to have the song change immediately if you do not like what is playing. I love the graphics of the slides having the album cover on them.

Thanks again!!!
A newly addicted pandora listener,

Calyn

wow thanks a lot guys, i really like this radio station. ive put countless hours into it, i like the new album/artist info. /thumbs up!

Why did you replace the "Close this menu" with an X? I liked the "Close the menu" better...

That explains my confusion! I noticed both your "tiny surprise" and went looking for other changes, and a deleted station that showed up for awhile then disappeared again. Congrats again for a superb and awesome music service. I'm addicted. Part of my routine in starting my computer!

Pandora is really amazing. can't express just how much i am hooked to it. what an initiative,people. thanks for your work and keep going on!

Pandora is such a great idea! Well done. I listen to Pandora all day, everyday at work. It's sometime hard to concentrate as I always want to check out who is playing. I discovered so much through Pandora. Thank you for your work and for keeping this free!
Also, thanks for the new features!
Any plans in adding some french music?

Just one complaint: After your latest change to the album covers, the artists' names are truncated. (The album names also are truncated, but I care less about that.)

Truly amazing project. My students have begun to ask me "Who is it this morning Mr. W?" when they walk into class. This is remarkable and only getting better.
One question; where's the best place to leave listening suggestions? I've got 400+ CDs and I've put in some jazz names that haven't found a match. Rock hits have been dead on. Can't wait for classical to get up and running.
Thanks a MILLION for your efforts.

DC Fait: Just hover your mouse over the name and it should scroll nicely for you in order to read the full text.

WOW! I love that you guys also made it so that titles now scroll when there is overflow, instead of disappearing behind the album cover. The new menu confused the crap out of me for a minute - for some reason I couldn't figure out what it was that I was looking at, but i got used to it.

=) Thanks for all you do!

Thank you for the update. Hard to believe that anything so good could get any better. In fact this thread reminded me to subscribe in order to support your ongoing efforts.

Thank you again for your hard work.

Great improvement! This gonna be the best Web service ever seen :-)

Love the new album titles. One minor suggestion: lose the "by:" and "on:" labels. It's pretty obvious what they are.

I love the new album titles. I really like that it tells me who the song is by and what album it's on. Pandora has introduced me to a lot of new artists and I would have a hard time knowing which is the song name and which is the group name if it didn't have the labels.

Thank you for all the work you do. I'm still addicted and still telling everyone I know to come check it out.

This is the most intuitive and fun internet radio ever...I have more staions than there are genres of music, i think...SOO cool. Thanks!

Pleeeeeeeeaaaase stay free!!!!!
