 Some reviews :





"Pandora is a unique music service I recently stumbled upon. Pandora allows you to enter the name of a single song or artist, and then it generates a custom streaming music channel based around that artist. Pandora references a massive database created by the Music Genome Project to determine the properties of the song or artist you entered, and then it uses this information to select a variety of other songs it thinks you may like."

"The Music Genome database, which has been in the works for five years, abstracts out various characteristics of music–such melody, rhythm, instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement and lyrics–to create a musical identity, according to Tom Conrad, Pandora's CTO. According to the Pandora Web site, "Each song in the Music Genome Project is analyzed using up to 400 distinct musical characteristics by a trained music analyst. These attributes capture not only the musical identity of a song, but also the many significant qualities that are relevant to understanding the musical preferences of listeners."
