I would be willing to pay for Pandora: the RIAA morons have proved themselves (again) to be the schlock merchants that pump mediocrity into the public veins. It’s as harmful to the musical and cultural development of my children as heroin, and nobody who tries to change that is left untrampled. Sad.

I am ready to pay a small fee, about $5-7/mo for Panndoa subsription, and I think it is more valuable on the phone then on PC. I don’t have time to browse iTunes, I want someone to find me the tunes I will like, Pandora saves me time and effort..

I’m an European guy, but I used Pandora in the early times when it wasn’t restricted only to US – OK, I cheated – and was realy sad when it said I cannot use it any more. But now I sugest a possible way to use the Music Genome Project (C) and Pandora (C) to it’s own advantages.

You guys, who made this project work, should find a seller, like iTunes (C), who would realise it’s effects on the market. Like you all wrote, I did the same: used Pandora to find new albums and artists to my taste, and bought their albums to listen. If they allow to use it this way, it would be damn good. Like one can listen the radio broadcast of Pandora (C) on a computer (set to the prefered taste) and buy the albums of one’s own interest to listen it on an player.

I hope it will work someday, and Pandora will come back to Europe, too.

Recently my very simple cell died and I was persuaded to purchase an iPhone to replace it. It might sound unlikely, but the feature that won me over was “Pandora.” I only wanted another simple phone because I don’t text and I knew that I’d never take the time to load music on my cell. Pandora lets me listen to my favorites, but also gives me many more artists that work in a similar style, some of whom I’d never heard before. Pandora has shortened my shopping process tremendously. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed what I’ve heard so far, and haven’t worried once about inattentive driving causing an accident (The car being my usual place to listen through Pandora). Changing music is best left to standing still.

PLEASE FIND A WAY TO KEEP PANDORA! You’ll keep so many of us entertained, introduce us to artists we’d not previously known, and for those of us who’ve nearly been hit by someone changing lanes with a cell phone stuck in their ear or swapping disks in the stereo, you’ll make the highways a little safer. Thanks!

After relocating our small retail shop a couple of months ago we came into the modern world and added a computer with online service. Don’t remember how I found Pandora but it is truly the single most exciting website/music service I think I have ever found. We do love our music and everyone here knows the virtues.

We have subscribed and I hope that many more people will do so to keep this site up and running and allow them to continue work with the Music Genome Project. It’s incredible. Thank you!!

For once… I don’t even know what to say should be done. I have no answer(s) other than when/if they had asked for possible donations, give.

What can we do? Besides “Nothing!” I’m old 70. I write a lot but have a lot of trouble using the computer. I “need” music to write. Music is the only thing I allow in. I have been chased out of one after the other music sites. I was chased into Pandora… not knowing that it existed. It’s home. I know listing the superior qualities would be redundant and preaching to the choir.

I was a blissfull user of Pandora and like you broadened my suprisingly meager music taste (who would have imagined, I thought I knew a ton about music). And made additional purchases into my arsenal of artists that most people haven’t even heard of, and how else would I have found them without Pandora. However I live in the UK and unfortunately those licensing laws have shut down Pandora operations in the UK, I have been trying to find even a PC equivalent since.

If someone would just find a way to represented the consumer vs. the big 3 on a global level, I think there would be more than enough support to pull it off…

Here at the studio were I work Pandora is all we have been listening to since we discovered it last summer.
Yes, it has put infront of us music and artists that in no way we would have known have it not been through Pandora.
PLEASE, DON’T CLOSE PANDORA! There’s eight people here that would be very sad if you did.

Pandora has been the best thing to happen to music for me. It too has opened up so many different artists and genres to me. And because of that I support these news artists in any way I can. If Pandora was to shut down it would really be a shame.

pandora has opened up so many different types of music to me that ive litterally bought 20 CDs that i would have never known about without this station, much less bought without the knowledge of what was on them, pandora has helped the music industry in my case. DONT CLOSE PANDORA!!!

I hope Pandora does not close down, like you I’m just discovering other genres and artist I’ve never heard of before. It gives me the option of listening before purchasing and I can do it at home or anywhere with net access.
