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. [1] The Music Genome Project has 400 musical traits for every song entered in the database that it uses to bring listeners similar music to their initial song choice.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many Thus, when a song or artist is chosen on the service, data is pulled from the Music Genome Project to identify the next song choice.
Pandora is only available in the Unites States, Australia, and New Zealand. [2]
