I haven't used it in a while, but this was a big advantage of Pandora for me. With pandora, you start a 'station' with a few seed songs and as you like/dislike songs, it keeps refining the station.
The downside to Pandora is that you can't choose your music. You can seed a station with a specific song, but that song might not be the first one played.
What I really liked with Pandora was that it was really good at producing endless playlists for me to listen to at work or car rides. I was a paid subscriber when I worked night shifts and drove a lot more. Spotify stations are really hit or miss. Sometimes the Spotify stations dive into foreign music and I can't find a way to specify which language of music I want to hear.
- greggman3 5y agoI have good and bad experiences with Pandora. The biggest issue was telling it I didn't like a song and having it recommend another mix of the same song. Dislike that one and get yet another mix of the same song
- yummypaint 5y agoI have had a great time exploring the entrances to various rabbit roles with pandora, but once I try to actually descend deeper and really narrow the focus I experience the same behavior. It's like it just doesn't have a big enough catalog and is pulling from too small a pool.
- Slow_Hand 5y agoI worked in a shop where 8 employees were constantly voting amongst ourselves to up-vote/down-vote each song as it appeared on a given Pandora station/playlist that was broadcast throughout the shop. This made for a great sense of consensus and discussion amongst a group of music nerds. However, one issue with Pandora was that no-matter the genre it would inevitably throw in a song by Morrissey, which would be met by a round of groans and calls by everyone in the shop to aggressively down-vote the song. The joke became that all roads eventually lead to Morrissey.
