Pandora

<p>I still use it on occasion because I spent a lot of time a few years back and built some virtually perfect channels for various generas and moods that can play all day while giving me exactly the kinds of songs that I want to hear. When such stations work the service is great. </p><p><br></p><p>However, I don't care to repeat that kind of multi-day effort to make new channels and I'm sick of the fact that new channels will give you every song or artist tangentially related to the ones you seed the station with, but can go months without ever playing the actual song or artist you seeded it with. One of the first channels I made was based on the song Sloop John B. by the Beach Boys. Over the years the channel has become a decent channel for songs of that era, I've heard Sloop John B. on that station maybe 5 times in 17 years which is just ridiculous. </p><p><br></p><p>That being said, I maybe listen to Pandora about 30 minutes a month these days. I'm usually listening to podcasts during my commutes. </p>
