I don't understand why the music will play for six or seven songs, then stop, and I will have to go back in, have Pandora download, click on radio, and it will choose some more music. Is this because I don't have enough names in the music categories?

Hello.

Try including in some orchestral music. There seems to be a lack of it. It'll be great! The New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra will be good. London Philharmonic Orchestra too!

Thanks.

I live in Ny, right in the city! Couldn't make it, work all week. But, wish I could've. I just had to comment to let you know that, even though I was not there, you have one more supporter in the world. Love Pandora!

I like the radio station and for the most part my preferences are met right on time. This way to cool for words...I've always been a big TV fan but as of Nov 31 that changed forever. So much so that I am considering giving up my Time-Warner Cable and subscribing. It's much more enjoyable. I would like to see more DownTempo music artists.

I was surprised and a bit saddened to find that Nightcore was not in your database.

I'm sorry I missed the UPenn town hall.

I'm listening in UK - thanks - it's great.

Lovin' it! I still have some stations I wanna try creating but it has been amazing thus far. I'm hearing new artists that I definitely need to check out and tell my friends about. Everyone has to learn of this website.

Hope you guys can make a trip out to Texas Tech some time. We have an awesome campus radio station and I'm sure they'd be thrilled. Keep up the good work!

You guys are WOUNDERFUl.. keep up the good work..

Posted by: Alicia at November 6, 2006 03:57 PM

Hey I love Pandora,
but you guys should include producer names as artists, good Producers are really Artists especially since the digital age began.

It would be great to listen to songs a certain produre worked on ect...

just a thought

Greetings,
My name is Dylan Gehrken. I am an undergraduate at the University of Virginia. In fact, you all stopped by one of my music classes about a month ago. I have really enjoyed Pandora and I have told a lot of my friends about you all. Anyway, I am working on a business plan in one of my commerce classes. Our idea is to have a program similar to Pandora except with wine. A person would log on create a profile and we would recommend different wines based on the underpinnings of their favorite wines.
I was wondering if I could take about five minutes of your time just to see how you all created Pandora.
Thank you so much for your time,
Dylan

I was disappointed to find an amazing band "The Afters" is not in the music genome base.

Posted by: Brittany paul at November 6, 2006 09:13 PM

Hi Tim,

The list of my bookmarked songs is a little more than 10 pages long. I was wondering if I could create a station that plays only my bookmarked songs. I don't think you should have any trouble implementing this (wrt your licencing restrictions) if the number of bookmarked songs is large (say greater than 250). It would be a very cool feature!

Thanks

Hey, I don't know where else to post this...so here goes. I think it would be great if you put theme songs for tv shows and songs from video games in your site. I love such obscure and hard-to-find stuff. I particularly like the music from the Legend of Zelda games and the Invader Zim show. (Jhonen Vasquez rocks!)Anyways, I would be uberappreciative if you added these. Also, I would suggest putting a search option so you can search by subject, so when you do put these video game songs and soundtracks on the site (hopefully!) people can find them and the artist who wrote them, because it is surprisingly difficult to find the authors to such songs. Thanks.

I would like to try and strike a partnership where I feature what has been in rotation on Pandora! I think it's awsome and would love to talk with you.

10 pages of bookmarked songs... holy @!$#% ! Love it.

Interesting idea about play all. Definitely a licensing issue. We'd love to at least start with 'buy all'....

Brittany, we'll have alisten to the Afters. We love suggestions: suggest-music@pandora.com

The town hall was awesome. I didn't get to ask all the questions I wanted, but since I now know you answer email, well... I'll just send it to you all.

Thanks for coming!

Hey!

I just had a suggestion to improve pandora even more - you should somehow figure out how to input full CDs as well as the artist and song title to make a new radio station.'

thanks! you guys make my life!

I love your station. I am originally from Chicago, IL where there are stations that play MY type of music. I moved to Rockford, Il 5 yrs. ago and for the past five years have suffered without my music. I am so happy I discovered your station. Keep up the great work. You are AWSOME!!!!!!!!!
