Rocketboom: Interview with Tim Westergren of Pandora Radio

i have a station based on like a alternative/rock
it mutated to a emo/acoustic/electro thing

i just found out its bcoz of the thumbs up?
wow

I love pandora! I don't care if there are giant Mcdonalds advertisements on my screen. As long as it keeps working the way it has, I'll keep using it.

NOW your going to get ADVERTISEMENTS! They SOLD OUT! First a few then gradually there will be more and MORE advertisements! Perhaps for you favorite drug to make your cock hard, or your favorite wadOplenty to cram in your pussy to stop the bleeding from showing or maybe even ads for the ACLU! funFunFUN! NOT!

Actually they didn't sell out. Cause to sell out you actually have to have something that your consumer pays for. The only reason why Pandora has advertisements is because the station is struggling to stay afloat. Cause believe it or not they have to pay SO much to keep the site going.

I love Pandora!
It's perfect. That's all I can say.
Perfect.

I hope pandora stays up, royalty fees keep increasing.

Good luck, I love this site.

its kind of annoying that you can't eliminate songs without adding a lot more.

Great interview you did your thing.
I am proud of the work Tim and his team have put forward, and wish them a lengthy duration in exploring the many millions of songs and the many artist yet to be tapped. This allows me the user to continuously refresh my ears with great quality music which I like to hear. Much More Success to Tim and the Pandora Radio Team.

the light side of pandora: great speed compared to similar sites, quite accurated search fuctions.
The not so light side: "We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for most listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative."

Pandora is great! One criticism though is the fact that it gets confused with cover songs... I listened to "Over the Hills and Far Away" by Gary Moore and it followed the song up with a cover of the same song by Nightwish!
