Pandora Radio

Personalized streaming service

Pandora Radio is a music streaming service that creates personalized stations based on a listener's preferences.

Users enter a song or artist, and Pandora generates a playlist of similar music, learning from feedback as listeners give thumbs up or down: I discovered so many new bands through my Pandora station.

Often shortened to just Pandora.
