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: 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

  • Help Setting up SoundWireServer on a Pi! All steps seem to work fine, then at the last step I get "No such file or directory", even though it's there! This is driving me crazy.
    Good point, but I did get the RPi version, straight from https://georgielabs.net/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Stream my PC audio through my notebook speakers
    I see a lot of software that can stream a desktop audio through a phone, like Soundwire or Audiorelay, but I'm looking for something to use my notebook speakers instead and I can't seem to find one. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Are there better options for broadcasting my desktops audio?
    Still only does the audio, but soundwire works over your network so will work as far as wifi: https://georgielabs.net/ used it for months and other than the interrupting voice saying "free version" it was pretty stable and consistent. You can also tweak app settings to either reduce the latency or increase robustness to network jitter. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Can I use my phone as a bluetooth audio transmiter for my computer??
    I've been using SoundWire for this and it has worked well. https://georgielabs.net/. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Looking for a software to stream PC audio to a raspberry Pi
    Soundwire is the solution you're looking for https://georgielabs.net/. Source: about 2 years ago
