CHARMING website! Unfortunately I can't meet your team in your trip, b/c your route simply don't pass my country--I'm Chinese.<(; ^ ー^)

Love the site, only found out about it 2 days ago from a friend

Is saxophonist Evan Francis the same saxophonist Evan Francis that played with Mike Keneally & Beer for Dolphins on the Dancing album? And plays flute?

Just came across your service today.

Love it. Makes my Rhapsody subscription more valuable, too. Just a thought......

I am a music lover! Your site is the best. I only been listening to it for 3 days. I have told all of my friends! Keep up the great work:)

the player and the idea are great. but the design and colors could be more fancy (maybe user definied player, different colors, functions,...just individual). thank you for the possibility to listen.

what up, lerch? yeah, its me. how're things? evan

Pandora is pretty sweet and I enjoy finding new music. I have a potential suggestion instead of just having the choices of "I like it" or "don't like it" for rating music maybe you guys could have a further category "It is o.k., but i would like more" and then a further menu appears with the traits of the radio station that the song comes from.Then the user clicks on the traits they want and more music like that is played. I understand that potentially this could provide a problem because the song that is already being played supposedly fits into that category has those traits, but also maybe instead of traits that fit that station, there could be a stock list of traits that the user can choose from. A similar menu could be applied for "I like it" and "I don't like it," but with the added caption "because."
Your service is good even without these additions, but this is just something I thought might be cool. Also if what I said is confusing, I can explain it better.

Just wanted to say I love you guys, too. A friend told me about it last year, and it was a godsent. Been loving it ever since.
Have you heard of Devil Doll? Give them/her a listen!

Hi, I´m from Ecuador (Southamerica) pandora to me is the greatest invention in the internet since Napster. but i think you´ll need more analysis with the music in spanish, the depuration es quite poor, there´s lot of kind of music all over latinamerica, so it must need even more analysis than the other music. PLEASE try to add music of "Los Tres" it´s a band from Chile, it´s my favoryte.

Thank´s alot!

I am not sure if I should post this here or elsewhere.

I tried to find Diane Renay or one of her songs such as Kiss Me Sailor or Navy Blue because I wanted to have a station of early sixties (pre-Beatles) Bubblegum. The system did not recognize her or any of her songs.

Also it took me in a bizarre direction when I put Instant Karma by John Lennon as a song. It sent me to a bunch of Christmas songs.

I like uptempo songs much more than slow songs, but often it would suggest slow songs after I put an uptempo song in the box. Is there a way that you can program it not to mix slow songs with uptempo songs? I will reject most ballads and slow songs.

Let me know if I should post such comments elsewhere.

ok so i just found this site reccently, and God its the coolest thing, its freakin awesome. you guys have done an incredible job. thanks so much.

so, i am definitely digging your site. i think the only things i don't like are that i can only access bookmarked song lists on the computer that i bookmarked them on...i'd like to be able to access them from any computer. 2nd, i am frustrated because i can't buy a bunch of this awesome music i hear on my stations on iTunes because they don't have them yet...but i'm hard at work requesting them. THANK YOU, I LOVE PANDORA

Fantastic sight, not just the ultimate radio tuner, but a very valuable research tool.

Do you only feature "released" music, and if not, how would one go about getting one's own music included?

Great site! My boyfriend just told me about it a few days ago, and i couldn't stop listening to it!
One idea: i'm a huge fan of Broadway showtunes, and i couldn't seem to find any of those...

First, want to compliment you on a great site. A coworker just turned me on to it this week & I'm really enjoying my own customized station.

A lot of my favorite bands are in your database, but I wish you would include more of them, like Vas, Azam Ali & Vox.

Also, I don't see any classical music at all.

Finally, we can add music by song title and artist. However, there are anthology albums etc. where I only know the title of the album/cd. So, I'd like to be able to add music by album/cd title.

Love the way this has bought to my attention artists I had never heard of.
I am very much into the music of the 30' 40's and 50's (Sinatra, Johnny Hartman et al)and I have heard at least 10 new artists (old and contemporary) doing this music.
My only beef is that my other love is classical and opera.
My attempt to create an opera station based around Pavarotti got me an exclusively Christmas music channel B-) and Andrea Bocelli created a channel of Spanish music including Madonna. Greats such as Maria Callas and Tito Gobbi can't be found.
I am sure I just have to be patient (that's a hint.
Keep up the good.

is it possible to export the list of songs I have flagged as the ones I like???

First, I love this site. Love it. It is my constant companion at work.

Second, how in the world could you go on a roadtrip and NOT STOP IN PHILADELPHIA?!

How did that happen?

Seriously, Philadelphia has one of the hottest music scenes going in EVERY genre. You can't blink in this town without your eyelashes hitting an amazing show of live music.

Check the website, send me an email, let me know when you're coming out here, and I'll give you a list. You will NOT be disappointed.

I like your service. i recently moved to philly from chicago to persue the music field.A curious thing i discovered listening to your service , what do Jeff Beck,Steely Dan and Cameo have in common? You dont know , because you just got into Cameo with "word up",yeah i know you have the older records but your program cant judge what i like by chords. The majikal thing i like about these bands,that they all share is attitude.I asked for a band called Switch i asked for a song by them named "Calling all girls",and you dont have it,i dare every one working there to listen to it and say they dont like it. I myself didnt like it when it came out 25 years ago.But ''Time and distance",in the words of David Lee Roth ,that song is fantastic please add it to all R and b, oh yeah one more if i ask for a band try to stick with that band if you could. I wish someone would have invented album orented funk for the radio maybe you could.Lastly Cameo has a song with Miles Davis called "In the night" maybe you could......

dear tim,
thanks for the tips. i realize now that i've been doing the thumbs up/down too much. what can i say? i'm an idiot but this web-site is so nifty.
sincerely,
jon claussen

I'm sorry to spam your blog, but I have no other way of telling you guys this- Pandora is the coolest thing on the internet, easily. I appreciate all the effort you guys put into it- it's mindboggling how much work you go through. I am officially a Pandora Addict. Keep up the good work =)

I want to add a radio station for early sixties bubblegum.

The songs that I can think of are not in your database.

I have tried Mission Bell by Donnie Brooks and Please Don't Talk To The Lifeguard by Diane Ray as well as Navy Blue by Diane Renay. I am careful about female selections, because I want it to be distinct from a girlgroups radio station.

Do you have any suggestion for songs from 1960-1964 that are bubblegum and in your database?

For the past few months, while at work, I've enjoyed listening to accuradio. The other day, however, it was temporarily inaccessible, for whatever reason. In my search for another online station I could listen to in the meantime, I stumbled upon pandora. WOW!! I'm impressed!! And, I'm hooked!! Good-bye accuradio!! Hello pandora!! I think pandora is great. My favorite part is the fact that you can personalize it. It's obvious there's been a lot of thought put into the development of this station. It's a winner and, because of that, you can be sure I'll be telling all my friends about it!!

Having said all that, I love pandora just the way it is but since you've stated you're always looking for suggestions, I can make one: have the songs repeatable. In other words, sometimes there will be a song in the playlist I'd really like to listen to again; it'd be great if that was just a click away!!

Thanks for a great station that's a real pleasure to listen to. Keep up the great work, pandora!!

I think its great.I am hooked - is there a pandora anonymous helpline for addicted teleworkers who dont do any work now they are on pandora?
one thing is that when I put in an artist, such as David Bowie, it played one song from his first album,then a whole lot of folksy guff from other artists of that period, without giving a chance to hear his music from a range of eras- he has gone through a lot of "changes".
after that I crafted stationsmore on individual songs rather than on artists, which gave a better result.

is there a classical music side to Pandora?

cool that's pretty cool k later

I looooooove pandora! this is the first time I've listend to streaming radio on my computer! I plan on subscribing soon. Your system makes it easy for a barely computer friendly eclectic music lover like me to have it her way!

I'm new to Pandora and only have time to go there occasionally.The last time I visited I put in the artist,Julie Gribble,and found no matches.Her CD "So Typical" is excellent and stands up to many established artists in the folk/country/alternative genres.I'd like to see her included.I'm sure others would this fresh voice also.

i typed in syd barrett in rememberence of the founder of pink floyd because he passed away last week and i found a great station......again

I tried various things to create an Irish / Celtic station, but no luck. Tried Reel / Lament / Eileen Ivers / Danny Boy. Too bad you are limited to an artist or a song - I would try to enter a descriptor like "Celtic" or "minor key tonality."

(These aren't complaints, just comments!)

Just started using the site and I am really liking it. Within minutes I discovered some really cool songs I had not heard before. One thing I don't understand is the deal with only playing so many songs per hour? Something about licenses? I was just getting warmed up when I was shut down.

I'm a new listener to Pandora. 2 weeks ago I turned my husband into it.
We decided not to buy an Ipod.
Thanks for the saving!
I appreciate your hints and we'll keep in touch.

This site is simply amazing, and I thoroughly enjoy the plethora of music that it provides. Keep up the great work, love it!

Wow! I just discovered you guys tonight! What a great concept to custom make my music preferences and have them played for my listening pleasure. I've discovered several new songs that I didn't even knew existed before -- but I love this way of finding songs/artists that will help me buy the right CDs/DVDs that will be well worth my investment. THANK YOU Sooooo MUCH for giving us such a way of finding our prefered music styles. This is rocking!

Hey guys, great idea. Love it. Here's a suggestion - you should combine it with an online dating site!! I'd love to find a girl who likes the same mix of bossa nova and funky breaks that I do!! Also could be a good way of boosting the subscription take up...

(... also, not sure why we HAVE to put in a US zip code... considering i'm an aussie!).

I love Pandora's idea, to be able to access the music I like while working, it's wonderfull noneless I would like to ask the ears, designers, programers...whom ever, could you put at the listeners disposal some portuguese music like susana felix, jorge palma, david fonseca, radio macau... thank you very much

please, oh please, add more Middle Eastern music!

Would love to hear more doumbek-oriented music, such as Hossam Ramzy, Vas, and anything "tribal" for bellydancing. :)

italy loves you!!!
keep on groove!!!

thanx for your good job and hard work!!

I am a 60 year old female, who loves music, but is not a fanatic, a muscian, a napster, or a musicologist...i do not own an Ipod, or any othe electronic gadget past a computer and cell phone (which I only use to make calls!)
I have tried to listen to music through other internet venues, Musicmatch, Windows Media and various others, but they were all too complicated for a techno laggard (personal techno laggard, I own a small market research company and professionaly technology research is one of our special areas)
The point of this is that I just discovered your service through my earthlink account via a newsletter they emailed (I never use my "start page.") I am delighted that there is finally a service that is superlatively easy-to-use. The simple option of entering an artist or song, that then provides similar music all worked out by your analysts is wonderful! I do not have to do any work or complicated set- ups using links, and such to simply listen to music while I work. I ususually end up removing the other programs as I do not have time for all that activity required to hear music,and they usually slow down my computer. I am busy and get frustrated with those "multiple -layered" services. Yours may be the most complicated to date, but it is all behind the scenes, and your staff takes care of the complications. I just pick music and listen in less that 10 seconds. congrats on a really pleasant, useful, winner in the usability field! It is so easy to navigate and much appreciated. Best Regards

Hey Tim and Lucia, I have been listening for a couple of days now and I even pass it to my friend. I am a big Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, R & B, and Reggaeton listener. I have a favorite singer and you complied to my needs. Thank you so much and I was wondering if your making any trips to Florida? If you are please inform me as soon as you find out. Keep up with the good work. Also don't know if you need more input on more spanish artist or lastest songs, but if you do feel free to ask away. Bye for now, A new fan, Peggy

I put in play Guns and Roses and all that pandora seems to be able to find is some rap and hip hop junk and some group called the marxman that sings a song called guns and roses whats up with that!

Hey Pandora listeners, whereever you are...

What a great station, even for people like me, who`s musical taste lies somewhere in between Blues (check out Popa Chubby!!NY Blues!!)and Jazz-rock, (like Spiro Gira and Yellow Jackets), there is lots of great stuff to enjoy!!.

Even New York Voices!!! (you never know music `till you listened to the unbelievable musical Arts of NYV!!!)

Thanks!!...Hof

Thanks for all the comments!

Don't worry, classical music and world music (including Celtic) are coming...they're big undertakings, but they'll be worth the wait!

And Mike, try searching 'Guns N' Roses.'

cheers, Lucia

Might be nice if we could see a couple of songs ahead to help us decide whether we want to listen to what's coming up?

This website is simply the best thing that has happened to me in a while!

I think your site is great and I am very glad to hear celtic music is coming.Right now I have to pick and choose by artist rather than genre.There's a lot of celtic music out there but all of the artists I don't know.
But thanks to your station I've up picked up a few I won't forget.
You're doing a great job!
Thanks,
Chuck

i love pandora i heard about it from my friend and so ever since i have listend to pandora. the greatest part is that you don't have to pay or download anything you can just listen to the music you like.

thanks for doing such a great job,
Hannah

I AM FROM PORTUGAL - LISBON. EACH DAY WHEN I COME HOME FROM WORK I LISTEN TO YOU. I AM ALWAYS DESCOVERING NEW FANTASTIC SONGS. I JUST LOVE PANDORA AND I HAVE TOLD ABOUT YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.I ALSO NOTICE THAT YOU ARE GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME. IMPROOVING AND ADDING NEW WAYS TO THE BLOG.
THANKS.
MANUELA

I'm a pandora addict.
merci mille fois

Just saw the new ad for Rock Start SuperNova. Looks Great! nice work!

The internet has obvious changed musical distribution. We have entered a future where we will be year end likely be able to download any song or album into our protable devices from wherever we may be litening to music at. The only question that hasn't been fully answered is the one about storage. We are still a bit limited. I think places like Pandora allow us the possibility to get rid of the tendency to want to hold onto some one piece of music. Instead of teying to hold onto some one piece of music that reflects my emotional state, memory, or understanding, I have an entire station that atmospherically capture it. In 24hrs Pandors has taught me to simply enjoy it and then let it go. However, there are still those tunes that pop up that are just too bad ass to let go! How is it all going to be stored? Thank you as one music lover to another.

I love this site! It is really nice to hear some of the other songs my favorite artists sing that I haven't heard, however I would like to hear the song that I actually suggested to hear.

Thank for creating a great site!!!
Stacy

I just like your music system-now that I replace my old computer,the music is better!!!Thanks ALOT! from tulsa,oklahoma

Im from argentine. i discovered pandora a few hours ago,

Im an addict now

thnaks for so fantastic work.

best regard!!!

Entire Buenos Aires!!!

This music net is AWESOME!!!!
Please keep adding the best in music!
Do you plan to make a request page?
Please keep me posted if you plan to.
I have a few.
Keep up the good work!!!!

This web site fuckin sucks!! you can never get the songs you want to play!!! Like disturbed Down with the sickness! Piece of shit pandora will not play it!

I would love to hear more Canadian East Coast artists!!!

Just hooked up w/your service for a test drive. Frankly, I don't see how you will be able to match my music tastes using some goofy formula... for example, I only like one song by ABBA, the rest suck. I only liked one song by Daryl Hall, the rest suck. I only like one song by Simply Red, the rest suck. One song by Basia, one song by James Taylor, one song by Foreigner, all the rest suck. See where I'm going with this? So far just about everything you've queued up for me just isn't cutting it...

This website is a godsend for me. It's always been difficult to find songs that I like, but this site has simplified it to a point of ridiculousness! LOVE IT! I have a few suggestions that I think would greatly improve your website.

I think that having a "type" of music to choose from would be great to have. Especially for those who are new to this website and for people like me who would like to experience a completely different genre of music and are unsure where to start.

I think that being able to choose which songs you don't like and then skipping to the next song without limits on how many you can skip in an hour would be highly beneficial to this site. It's sometimes a bit irritating having to listen to a song that you don't like.

Also, when you base a radio station on a song, I think that the first thing that should play is the song you requested.

It would be great if you could repeat songs that you really want to listen to again along with a way to keep the whole song on your personal profile. A way of being able to customize your personal profile (color, theme, etc.) would help put an emphasis on your theme of being able to customize the music you listen to. It would be cool if when you customize your profile you could decorate it with pictures, posters, and album covers of your favorite band(s).

Keep up the great work! Many thanks!

A friend introduced me to Pandora last week, and I couldn't wait to get home and start playing with it. I now have several stations full of great music! I love this concept. I've noticed that there are others who are asking for the same things that I would like to hear: classical, opera (without being given only Christmas music!), celtic and east coast Canadian. Somehow in my searches (probably trying to find classical and opera) I've ended up with two stations of Christmas music!
There are also lots of folk artists I've tried to find that were not there.
This is a request, not a complaint --this is really great and I love it!
Thanks!

This site is one of the best things introduced to me this summer!!! I love music, it is my life! I love the variety!!!

good ~~
I like your station very much~~

good ~~
I like your station very much~~

Im looking for a song popular in the 40' and possibly 50's in the US. "If I'da known",possibly with the names of the music lines "egbdf" and "face". could you suggest a title or an artists who may have made this song popular? my mother really can't remember the title just part of the lyrics.thank you.g knoxville tn US

Marina Garza, one of our newest hires, is one of our Latin Music Specialists. She plays with the Orquesta D'Soul, which she describes as Latin Salsa Pop. I notice that Pandora refers to their music as having "danceable grooves." I concur.
