The Internet has been a music lover’s playground. Now that technology has made it affordable for independent artists to record and release their music, a person could spend days simply browsing and downloading new and incredible music. That’s pretty time consuming, so along comes Pandora. Although it’s more like a music shuffle with a few surprises, people seem to love it. That begs the question, is Pandora more popular than a playlist?
The Rise of Pandora
For those who don’t know, Pandora is an internet based music program that allows the listener to create radio stations by simply entering the name of a favorite artist or music style. By matching various qualities in the music with artists who also have those qualities, Pandora will create playlists that often include artists the listener has never heard. For the music adventurist, this is a technological god send.
If a person is rigid in what they want to hear, Pandora may not be a good product, but chances are that anyone who uses it will love it. Even if the person only likes mainstream Country, then they can pretty much create that kind of radio station and never be disappointed.
Pandora is Free
Although you can buy subscriptions to Pandora, you can also sign up for a free version that includes advertisement. It’s not as annoying as radio ads, so the free version is not bad. As we get lazier and lazier due to technology, programs like Pandora could easily replace the playlist for everyone except those who demand a total immersion experience with their music.
