Hidden Features of Pandora You Might Not Know About

How Pandora Works:

Pandora is built around personalized internet radio. When you start with a station (either a genre, artist, or song), Pandora uses its Music Genome Project, which analyzes music based on over 450 attributes (like melody, rhythm, vocals, and more), to select songs that fit your tastes.

  • Create Custom Stations: You can start a station by selecting a favorite song, artist, or genre. Pandora will then play a mix of similar music.
  • Discover New Music: Pandora helps you discover new songs and artists based on your preferences. If you thumbs-up or thumbs-down songs, it learns more about what you like and fine-tunes the station accordingly.
