Pandora Reviews

10 best music players for Android Auto
Pandora is kind of a shoo-in for a list like this. It’s available on most infotainment centers in vehicles anyway and it would honestly feel wrong if it didn’t have Android Auto support. You all know how Pandora works. You start a radio station, listen to music, skip the occasional song, hear the occasional ad, and move on with life. A premium option for $9.99 per month adds...
Top 10 Spotify Alternatives You Can Try (2019)
The free plan limits your song-skipping ability and includes some ads between songs and on the playback screen – which I found to be really annoying. The monthly subscription, with no ads, higher quality audio, unlimited skips, and replays, is available using Pandora Plus subscription for just $3.99/ month (with a 30-day free trial).

Best Spotify alternatives for streaming music in 2019
Pandora Music (Android, iOS) allows you craft radio stations based on your favorite songs, artists, and genres or discover recommended stations based on mood or activity, but you can only skip or replay songs a limited number of times. If you pay for Pandora Plus ($4.99 per month), then you'll get higher quality audio, unlimited skips and replays, offline listening, and the...
The 6 Best Spotify Alternatives for Music Streaming
As you might know, Pandora is a bit different than other streaming services. It’s more like a custom radio station than a jukebox. Users create “stations” based on the stylistic similarities between songs and artists, and then Pandora’s algorithm plays music that matches those stats.

  • Having a Panic Attack
    Breathe slowly and deeply. Put your hand on your chest. Feel your chest rise and fall with your breaths. If your hands or head are tingly or cold, it's okay. It's not life threatening. Just keep breathing. Do you have a pet or something soft? Touch it. Feel it. Turn on some nice classical music. I listen to "solo piano" on pandora.com. Listen to the music. Go outside and feel the breeze. If it's cold, put on a... Source: 12 months ago
  • How Can Someone Get Into New Music?
    Go to http://last.fm or https://pandora.com. Source: over 1 year ago
  • how to whitelist an app on NextDNS?
    I've tried typing "pandora.com" as well as dozens of other Pandora subdomains and that does not make a difference. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Need help finding a Paul McCartney song.
    I know try spoify .com or pandora.com. Source: about 2 years ago
  • DNS over HTTPS (DoH) not compatible with smart routing
    Essentially, Deeper Network's smart routing relies on being able to intercept the DNS queries to choose the right tunnel to use. For example, if you are in a country that does not allow Pandora.com (or Pandora is restricted by licensing), you would want to map "pandora.com" to route through a tunnel to a peer in a country that allows it. But in my experience, this was not working. Source: about 2 years ago

    You can find small indie bands on Bandcamp. If you dig deep enough, you can find anything. Source: 11 months ago
  • Finally getting into Minidisc, it sounds excellent!
    Yeah; really enjoying my small collection as well. Have you checked out bandcamp? A lot of artists on there release on minidisc. Source: 11 months ago
  • How do you discover new music if Plexamp is the only music app you use and you don't have a Tidal subscription?
    Bandcamp. Start following bands you like (assuming they are on there) and you can get recs for similar artists. Also follow record labels to expand the offerings. Plus you'll know a good majority of the purchase price will be going to the artist and not the record company/streaming service/etc. However it's a service that artists are basically creating their own stores, setting prices etc. In most cases you can...
