  "Less than 100,000 songs in the entire history of radio broadcast have ever been played" I'm not sure I understand that line -- are they saying that in all of radio history, less than 100,000 unique songs have been played? (not counting 'unicast' pandora radio).

    Yes.

    Other lines that dont make sense Pandora makes up 1 1/4 of all radio Pandora has 3/4 of a million songs so far; 90 million of those three-fourths were played last month

      And it seems the last half is missing bullets.

  "During Pandora’s first year, the 90210 zip code was the area listening to Pandora the most" This was because, to make sure that listeners were in the US, they required a zip code rather than geocoding IP. (I was at his get together in Tucson - AMA, I guess. :)

  Pandora admits to 0.4% of missed searches. That is, Pandora will get stumped 0.4% of the time when you enter a song or artist It's definitely felt a lot more like 40% for me. Pandora seems to struggle with classical music titles that lack obvious keywords.
