TechTips Vol IV Digital – Pandora
Do you want to stop paying for music, but still have a growing collection songs to enjoy? Do you want to be exposed to artists and genres you have not experienced? If I have you at this point, you’ll love Pandora .
Pandora is a free internet based music delivery system.
How it works
- You can listen to music, as long as you are online, on your computer or phone (make sure you have an unlimited data plan).
- It is available on all Operating Systems, Windows, Mac, Linux.
- It is also available on most phones, iPhone, Blackberry, and Android.
- You create “stations” based on your current favorite artists, i.e. Kanye West, Frank Sinatra, Avett Brothers, Lupe Fiasco, Paul Simon, etc.
- Based on my example you will have 5 stations listed.
- Click on the station (artist) to listen to songs from that artists, and wait for it, wait…and other artists in the same genre ..
- If you like a song you’re listening to you can give it a “thumbs up” or contrary a “thumbs down”. Doing this will train Pandora for your auditory satisfaction.
- Pandora will also let you create a new station based on a song or artist you are hearing or just heard.
