Pandora

Overview

Pandora is an online service that recommends songs to the listener based off of a starting choice. The primary goal of the service is to provide the listeners with songs that they may or may not know that they like. Pandora is able to do this through the Music Genome Project, a comprehensive analysis in which data was collected on a large quantity of music and compiled into a database. Thus, when a song or artist is chosen on the service, data is pulled from the Music Genome Project to identify music with similar qualities.
