Pandora is a great website for those interested in listening to a variety of songs similar to an artist that they enjoy. It's a free service with a limited amount of time to listen to that will get you started with the option of paying a yearly fee to have unlimited listening time, the ability to skip more songs, and to download their application. The website contains a lot of information about artists, access to a large number of artists, and a variety of different genres. The biggest con of the website is the fact that it's available only to US users and is unavailable outside of the United States, but there are devices that are able to connect to the service and stream. The application runs in Adobe's multi-OS platform allowing for it to playback in Windows and Mac, but it also runs in Linux with very few problems even without it being listed as compatible.

Overall, the service is great and the quality of the music is great. The information is accurate.

I use pandora every day. I love it because it's free to use and it helps me at work.

I don't like, that you have to pay in order to become a member for unlimited music, yet you're still not allowed to pass that 6 skips an hour limit.

Sometimes the variety is lacking, but they have been adding more songs so that's good.: D

Another thing I don't like is how when I try to say that i'm bored of a song, it won't play for another month HOWEVER, there will be a different version for it.

Example: I'm bored of "Until the Day I Die by Story of the Year" so it won't be played for 1 month, but then an hour later i get the SAME SONG, but it's "live" so, it doesn't count as the one i clicked bored for. So I have to waste TWO out of the 6 skips they give you for thats.

Good concept. Love how it works. Just needs a little tweaking. :D

I find Pandora's service to be exactly what I am looking for. I love the fact that you can add songs or artists to any station if the music starts to get repetitive. I use Pandora all the time and my only thing against it is that you have to pay if you go over 40 hours but really I don't mind supporting this service.

I would recommend Pandora to anyone who wants to listen to music for free without having to manage a playlist or if you want to find new artists in a genre of music you like.

Anyone using pandora should also buy tunebite too so every song you listen to you download directly to your PC. Here is the tunebite review here on sitejabber

Unlimited pandora= $36
Tunebite= $30

That is 66 bucks for unlimited downloaded music MP3s to your laptop. I just leave my laptop on all day long for constant free music. I sleep and keep my laptop on and in the morning I wake up and check my downloads to see what new songs I got in my folder. This won't last forever, someone is going to crack down and stop us from getting our free music so get it while the getting is good!

Use Pandora to get MP3s for FREE - I feel bad doing this but there is a simple way to hack Pandora and get all the MP3s as you listen to them on the internet radio. Don't bother actually buying it from iTunes, just download everything you listen to. Here is the way to do it1. Go to Pandora.com and download the file and install it. 2. Extract all files to something like c:\pandora3. Use pandora for a little bit and listen to some music4. Now go to the directory that contains the downloaded files (c:\pandora) and click on pandora.jar5. Now make sure you are using firefox and win XP6. Go to START then RUN and type cmd then in the window type cd: cpandora7. Now type java -jar pandora.jar *******. A blue screen should show up that says "now we are ready to rip MP3s"9. Now open firefox and type: http :// localhost: *******. Now do your normal pandora listening and the MP3s should be saved in the folder you created. Tada! Lets keep this thread updated as they make changes in pandora that alter this hack
