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.

9 Best Free Music Download Sites in 2022
Last.fm is the flagship product of Audioscrobbler's music engine design team. Users "record" tracks more than 10 million times a day to Last FM's servers, it's one of the world's largest social music platforms.
9 best free Spotify alternatives
Last.fm is more about music discovery than listening to what you already know: its famous "scrobbling" analyses the songs you listen to (not just on the site, but in desktop and mobile music apps too) and comes up with suggestions for similar music it thinks you'll like. Frustratingly many of the available tracks are just previews, and the free radio streaming is a paid-for...

  • 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: about 1 year 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

  • The day I canceled my Spotify subscription
    I switched to https://qobuz.com, mainly for the high audio quality (it goes up to 192kHz 24bit, which is worth it for me as I have the necessary equipment to make use of this), but it also supports "Spotify quality" i.e. Mp3 quality/320 kbps, but I stayed for the experience. It does not really have an algorithm, there is one playlist "My weekly Q", which updates each week with songs that you could like. The only... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Mr. Bungle - Nananana (lost fake song)
    Hi, anyone remember that song? I remember I downloaded it from ares and I liked it but unfortunately it wasn't by mr bungle, it was just mislabelled (like the toxic cover). If anyone has it around I would like to hear it again! On last.fm it comes up as some people listen to it from time to time. Any info you have, or the original artist, I'd appreciate it. From what I remember it sounded like a demo and just said... Source: 5 months ago
  • 1970’s music makes me feel the most alive. What music does that for you?
    Try last.fm, great website for recommending music. Those one's you suggested are a bit more jazzy than I usually listen to but maybe try What's Goin' On - Marvin Gaye. Talking Book, or Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder. Couple of my favorites. Source: 5 months ago

  • I Tried Apple Music and That Made Me Realize How Much Polish TIDAL is Missing
    However, I can fully enjoy my last.fm subscription with Tidal thanks to the integrated scrobbler. I could with AM too but it would be necessary to download (and buy) two different scrobblers : one for iOS and one for macOS. Then, I feel like Tidal has more interesting recommendations, especially when we talk about lesser-known artists. Tidal Rising allows for nice discoveries while AM is much more focused on music...
