Pandora is one of the most well-known names in streaming music. Based on the Music Genome Project, Pandora provides music catered to your individual tastes. As Pandora is a streaming music service, meaning there is never a need to download individual MP3s or other music files, an Internet connection is required to use this service.
To get started with Pandora, simply type in an artist, genre, or song title. Then, Pandora creates a personalized station based on that music style. If you’re not sure where to start, you can also browse generalized genre stations. While playing music, you have the ability to pause or skip a song. You can also vote a song up or down to helps Pandora hones in on your own music tastes.
Pandora is a free service, available on a wide variety of platforms, including Android, Apple, Blackberry, Nook, and Kindle. The free version is supported by ads. A subscription, called Pandora One, is available. Pandora One removes ads, provides higher quality playback, and allows you to customize the look of the music player. One month goes for $3.99, while a one year subscription is $36. Many competitors, like Spotify, Rdio, and last.fm have built on Pandora’s success, but it remains the original.
Keep Rockin’!!!
