Not seeing Pandora, apparently 46 million people still use that as of 2023
- alpinisme 2y ago46 million active users or 46 million accounts created?
- zxexz 2y agoI’d believe either, though the latter feels tiny. Pandora is still better than any of the others listed for discovering new music, IMO. Spotify always seems too conservative with its suggestions, making it worse for discovering new music. Subjective, of course.
- dafelst 2y agoI agree, I feel like Pandora recommendations are far better than Spotify ones, at least for me. Spotify keeps me in my bubble, Pandora is constantly expanding it.
- ProfessorLayton 2y agoI don't think it's subjective. Royalties aren't paid equally, and considering Spotify is partly owned by the record labels themselves, it makes sense to steer listeners.
- chiefalchemist 2y agoI haven't tried Pandora lately but Spotify is horrible for suggestions. My goto remains BBC 6 Radio Music.
- dankwizard 2y agoIt is tiny - It's US only.
- jollyllama 2y agoPandora is also way more trainable. You can train that recommender with your thumbs up/down, and it's been like that for 15 years.
- pcmaffey 2y agoHighly recommend Hermes with a free Pandora account (Mac desktop app, no ads), if you just want to set a station and listen for hours. https://github.com/HermesApp/Hermes https://github.com/HermesApp/Hermes
- ProllyInfamous 2y agoThanks for the Hermes.app recommendation... Even as a paying Pandora member I plan to use this (over their website).
