| Did it just get started? It couldn't find 4 out of 5 artists I gave it. | |
| oli2 -- 02/20/2007, 11:29:48 -- #33185 | |
| No, it has been out for quite a while. See http://www.pandora.com/mgp.shtml. I have not had problems with it not finding artists --- but I usually put in bebop era artists. Did you enter mostly recent or obscure names ? | |

| If it can't find an artist, apparently they take note of it and will probably add that artist. It didn't know "Joanne Brackeen" but it knew others that I thought were not as important... go figure. Also, I've seen where they couldn't play a particular artist at a given time due to contractual issues. | |

| do they have whatever's on iTunes? | |

| knotty, it's a whole different concept. check it out. | |

| oh yeah, I stayed on it for 4 hours yesterday. It's absolutely awesome. I was wondering if the library was from iTunes. In other words, if a tune is not on itunes, then it won't be on pandora (and vice versa). Not really important, just wondering. | |

| I did register a while ago but haven't listened recently. A tip for those outside of the USA - they ask for a US postcode when registering; being in the UK I don't have one (!) but I just used one I found on the internet (Sweetwater's I think!!) and this was accepted no problem. Dave | |

| OK, in spite of initial skepticism I’m suddenly a fan. Had it on much of the day yesterday and today. I’ve already found artists that I didn’t know and have had to start a new list (saved for later is just getting too big!) on emusic to remember them by. What fun! | |
| CynBad -- 02/22/2007, 13:03:23 -- #33185 | |
| I think that's the most fun thing about it. Discovering music and artists you hadn't heard before! | |
