Tim, Thank you so much for Pandora.com. I am a new listener and I really enjoy the music that is played. I have been listening for several weeks or more and you have the kind of music that I like. One day I went to the website and the first song that I heard was a real favorite of mine. I had this song on a record but I don't have the album anymore, but now I do, thanks to Pandora. I like music mostly from the 30's on up through to 1955, and some of the music of the mid 50's through the early 60's such as The Four Aces, Chubby Checker, Connie Francis, you know what period I am talking about. The singers and bands back in the "Golden Era" had something that today's music doesn't have- a way that touches your emotions as you listen. There have been a couple songs that were played that really touched me to where I cried as I listened. It's strange that I cry when I am real happy but I can't help it. Enough on that. I have already placed a number of stations in my registry so as to go back to them whenever I wish. I began to collect 78 rpm records but since listening to Pandora your station has already helped me collect the music from them. Ella Fitzgerald is someone that I have heard a number of times on Pandora, but her voice doesn't sound the same as when she sang "A Tisket, A Tasket" from an Abbott and Costello movie. Do you have any of her music from the early 40's? Since I found Pandora I will be a permanent listener. Keep playing the music you play. Pandora makes my day when I listen in. Thank you so much.

Hey, my attention was caught when you mentioned going to business classes/ entrepreneurship clubs about starting and financing businesses. I am a part of a international student business organization and feel that you (Pandora) could offer more points of view, and opportunity, in the business world beyond that of just "big business". Please, I would like to get in touch about when Pandora will be in the Northwest region, I am currently a student in Oregon.

Thank you,
Aaron Wayne

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for letting us know we have a fan in Oregon! I'd love to learn more about your International Business Organization and see if we can arrange to have Tim make his way out to your campus to speak!

Please contact me directly at kim@pandora.com.

Thanks again!

Kim from Pandora

that was great

Hey Tim, I also posted on your personal Pandora page, but in case you don't get to it, just letting you know that we'd love to have you come to Georgia Tech and talk. I think there are a lot of students here that could really get behind the project and would be interested in learning more about it. If you'd like to talk about how we can set something up, just shoot me an e-mail at samlawrence@gatech.edu.

Thanks!

Dear Terry -

Thanks so much for writing such a wonderful post. THis is the stuff that really keeps us going. There truly is nothing like music to touch the soul.

We'll happily track down some early Ella. Any particular tracks/recordings you have in mind? If so, please send suggestions to: suggest-music@pandora.com

It's great to have you as a Pandora listener...

Cheers. Tim

Hi,

Did Tim go to highschool or college in Michigan?

Carolyn

I enjoy the ease of listening to the music.Always have been a fan of Hank Williams an the Beatles.Thanks for the good job

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to the University of Scranton, Scranton PA. Home of "The Office"!
"Aint' no party like a Scranton Party, cuz a Scranton party never stops!!"
Thanks for the music. This is a brilliant idea.

Hi, I've been enjoying pandora for a while now, however, I do not understand WHY it is not playing the ACTUAL seed songs that I have listed. Sure, I like John Legend, but I would like to hear the songs I have requested, not the "B" side tracks. Also, WHY are songs being cut off in the middle of the track? It has started doing that about every five to six songs, and will just stop playing and pause for about 30 seconds trying to find another song. Why not just finish playing the one that was already good? Strange. Who are the programmers anyway?

Dear Tim-

It would be AWESOME if you were to come to UW-Madison and speak of your experiences, how you found your entrepreneurial spirit and how you transferred it into an awesome business, your experience with music, and how others can turn a passion of theirs into a reality and livelihood. Like you said; disciplines from engineering, to business, to music would LOVE the opportunity to hear you speak and give some insight to us young entrepreneurs. Please contact me, dedlebeck@wisc.edu, and I can help you get in touch with the right resources to make for an awesome experience for many bright Badgers!

Thanks and Go Bucky!

Dan

Thanks for your comments, all!

Daune, I'll have our Support team contact you. :)

pandora mobile sounds great. I would like to port it to the psp. Is there a way we could download it onto the computer.

heyall,
keep up the good work. Pandora is a great place to discover new music. I have one suggestion. The site needs a "Never Play this Artist" button for station editing. I thumbsdowned a song on one of my stations because I don't like the artist. What happened? Four songs later, the same artist was played again. Just an idea...

matt

If you guys are ever in the southern California region, you would be very well received at Cal Poly Pomona!

Daniel

If you are ever in Madison, the University of Wisconsin would love to have you. And I would love to help in anyway possible.

p.

love the music! I have to ask a trivia question maybe you can answer. I just love A.J. Croce and I discovered him several years ago while watching Austin City Limits concert on tv. I swear they said he was Jim Croce's son and I have been spreading the rumor ever since. I could just go online to find out if it is true but, wanted to ask you instead. Please inform me so I can either stop the maddness or continue to spread the joy. This is the best station ever to discover new yum music. Thanks

Hi Tiffany -

According to Wikipedia, A.J. Croce is indeed Jim Croce's son.
