What are you listening to?

[--Pete]

Hi,

I was able to log into my Pandora account after many years of inactivity.
It appears I only have 1 station "Doo Wop"...yet I'm listening to South Pacific a broadway musical.

Pandora works with 'types' of music -- what you tell it by selecting stations and liking/disliking pieces is your preference in types. At first, it is pretty hit or miss, but if you give it feedback, it narrows down pretty fast. After about a week, I was getting 80% or more 'good' stuff and only a few bummers per hour. And I've discovered dozens of pieces I'd never hear (or had forgotten) that I really like.

To share My station, I need to send you this URL:

http://www.pandora.com/?sc=sh319388646145928389

WoW the URL works here at the forum.

Was that supposed to take me to your profile or mine? Because it took me to mine -- not that I mind, but I hope my bank has better security than that. Apparently I need a password to get into my account, but anybody else can do it by clicking a link. That is just too funny.

Pete this is your complete list:

Yeah, that's basically what I posted above plus the latest changes. I'm finding that using individual performers/composers works better than genres or individual pieces to get both variety and constrained to what I enjoy.

Aww....

I was thinking Pandora would be something to check out too. So when I saw Jim's link, I went for it.

Sorry to hear that. Both for you, in that you're being deprived of a good service for no good reason, and for the world as yet more bureaucracy replaces freedom. Let me second kandrathe's oblique suggestion -- find an anonymizer and go for it.

Did bring a smile to my face. Thanks.

Good, since that's about all I can do for you.

And your you're welcome. (They say the legs go first, but they are wrong -- grammar is the first casualty of age. )
