- blondin 5y agoomg, this is just like pandora! i wonder what happened to them.
- Kalanos 5y agostill works
- btgeekboy 5y agoPandora is still around. They were acquired by SiriusXM, and a lot of the Pandora functionality was brought into the SXM app. Though I believe the standalone app is still available and working.
- mastazi 5y agoAFAIK they shut down everywhere except the US. Here in Australia, pandora.com currently redirects to a 404 page (it has been this way for years)[1]. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25524801 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25524801
- pan69 5y agoWasn't it pandora who acquired rdio?
- Kalanos 5y agojango is as old as time
- liketochill 5y agoIt stopped working for me, glad it is back Edit: nope not working in Canada
- Graffur 5y agoLiterally no station was playing and I tried a lot 0/10
- leke 5y agoNice concept. I miss Grooveshark though.

- andybak 5y agoJust to say - the playlists showing to me on the home page are the least hip selection I think I've ever seen. Not a good first impression.
- dgeiser13 5y agoNew Worship Hits
- 1MachineElf 5y agoGood
- bryans 5y agoThe ~96kbps audio makes this unbearable, even if it does come up with reasonably good stations based on input. It just sounds awful.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoWell I’ll offer a positive feedback. I was curious how well it would accommodate my… sorta weird musical taste. Typed in an artist I didn’t expect to find (Mr Gnome): nope, again not surprising. Realized that was an unfair obscurity, picked another which is less obscure but still not very mainstream or likely to be highlighted in the demos (Toadies): immediately found a great song, and it wasn’t the predictable hit. I don’t have much interest in radio/shuffle that’s not how I listen to music, but it was pleasantly surprising anyway.
- S_A_P 5y agoI’ve had a jango account since 2006(?) maybe. I haven’t logged in or otherwise used it since about then either but I still get emails from them on occasion. Maybe I should check it out again and (shameless plug) stream some stupid American pig tracks
- westcort 5y agoI made a thing that does something similar, only with out of copyright music. It has stations too, like this: https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=gillespie https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=gillespie https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=Armstrong https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=Armstrong https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=be-bop https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=be-bop https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=Blues https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=Blues https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=Garland https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=Garland https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=Waltz https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=Waltz https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=Jazz https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html?q=Jazz
- testmasterflex 5y agoWon’t play for me on my phone but something like this would be nice for my bathroom music player startup: https://Loodio.com https://Loodio.com Currently I paid a friend to make some lounge songs that come pre-installed and then will let the users upload their own mp3 music.
- bavell 5y agoAt first I laughed at "bathroom music player startup" but I checked out the site and came away impressed!
- testmasterflex 5y agoHaha yeah it’s not a sexy problem that’s why the product has to be :) Did you understand what problem is solves when checking the site?
- bavell 5y agoI did! The name makes sense too and is a good mix of witty and intuitive. Best of luck to you!

- svnpenn 5y agoSo, they are blatantly lying?
- woolion 5y agoNo, user abuse is free. Some company have paid user-abuse packages, but it's free here!
- webmaven 5y agoLooks like the copy got mangled in a few edits. The music is commercial free, but they show you ads.
- svnpenn 5y agoLiterally the first thing you read on the homepage is wrong. They are either stupid or lying, either way I'm not using the site.
- JohnHaugeland 5y agoEr, no. They're saying "it's free to you but we pay for it, because ads." You know, like broadcast television, and a large chunk of the web.
- svnpenn 5y agoOn the home page, it says: > Unlimited, ad-free, customized radio how is that not a lie?
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agohow is this different/better than airsonic? or funkwhale?
- ZGDUwpqEWpUZ 5y agoJango is internet radio. They provide the music. Airsonic/Funkwhale appear to be self-hosted services for streaming your existing music collection.
- ShowalkKama 5y agoTheir domain is in one of adguard's blocklists [0]. Somewhat suspicious 0: https://anti-ad.net/easylist.txt https://anti-ad.net/easylist.txt
