Wasn't this the whole point of Pandora?
- peab 5y agoI think so. Pandora actually hired people to manually annotate their corpus with various sorts of traits. See https://www.pandora.com/corporate/mgp.shtml https://www.pandora.com/corporate/mgp.shtml
- NateEag 5y agoYeah, and as a result it's the one music service I pay for. It doesn't give me any control of which attributes I care about, which frustrates me to no end, but it does fairly well at turning up things I haven't heard before and like if I can give it a decent set of seed tracks.
- aceazzameen 5y agoAgreed. Pandora is the only music service I've stayed with because of its discovery system. It's not perfect, but I've found countless artists and songs over the years at Pandora that I might not have known without. I also occasionally go back to Slacker/LiveXLive for it's fine tune controls, DJs and news. But it's discovery system isn't as good and it's had plenty of bugs (like playing wrong songs/titles). So I stick with Pandora for that radio experience tailored to me.
