Pandora

[Amorok]

Goddamn, Pandora is awesome. Genius on iTunes is pretty badass as well, but it only uses the music I have. Pandora and Slacker Radio are how I find new music to put into iTunes, and both websites have iPhone apps (suck it Droid, I don't care if you have one too, FIRSTIES!!!!) so I get bitchin metal wherever I go. This plus my warm house makes me feel that technology is pretty tits right now.

[MILK]

I cancelled my Sirius subscription due to Pandora. I run it through my iphone through my speakers. No static like my Sirius receiver either.

[LeeNetworX]

Pandora is cool. I find it most usefull when we are driving to FL and hit middle GA where the radio stations are absolutely horrible and there is NOTHING worth listening to in the air waves. I just connect my iPhone to the AUX jack of the stereo and stream audio goodness; and it sounds pretty decent, too.

[t-homo]

Pandora is the best for parties.

[neebelung]

Sooo hooked on both Pandora & Slacker, and yes, the free apps make it even better. I listen online at work, then plug in the aux jack to the iphone to listen in the car. Absolutely love it. We're cancelling our Sirius/XM subscription as well.

[Amber Lamps]

In case anyone doesn't know, Pandora works on PS3.

[Rangerscott]

My droid came with it. I havent used it in a year I guess. Had to figure out the email/password I used.

The "guessing" on what you like is pretty good but it can go WAY out in left field sometimes.

[azoomm]

Save music from Pandora... you're welcome:

Pandora is the best. I run it on my bike all the time and will cancel my XM on the next cars due to using it.

[SteveP]

I love Pandora too. Use it on both my macbook and my iphone. (sorry I'm a fanboy)

[Flexin]

Why is that shit only available in the US?

James

[Gas Man]

How do they know where you are? You just register it under your email...

[psychochild28]

Pandora rocks. Only thing we listen to at work. (Once the audio guys get set up anyway)

[marko138]

You guys cancelling your Satellite radio are nuts. Pandora can't touch satellite.

[LeeNetworX]

I'd imagine it has to do with licensing/distribution agreements with the record labels? Just guessing here.

The servers can use the client's IP address to identify the general location of the user and block the user, etc. I'm not saying this is exactly what they do, just throwing out a likely possibility.

You could be right.

Pandora is pretty awesome for a few hours, but if you listen to one station for too long it gets kooky.

We were listening to the Bloodhound Gang station and after a few hours, it started playing Tom Petty and U2. :wtf:

You're fucking high, kid. I just added another lifetime deal to my account. Still rocking 3 radios.

[Kaneman]

Yea, no ads, 5 hours interrupted music, no monthly limits and a Pandora app for Win XP.

[HurricaneHeather]

Can you skip as many songs as you want?

No but I have headphones. Some of the ultra conservative Christians here would have me crucified if they heard some of the stuff I listened to.

Internet radio is going to wipe satelite off the map. Abandon the sinking ship.

They're still working on "universal WiFi, when that hits, it'll be all over for sure.

I think it's already begun with bluetooth capable cars as 3G and eventually 4G starts making it's way to more areas on the country. Hell a lot of normal radio stations that went internet early and discontinued it are coming back to it. One of our local stations has really started to advertise it's cell phone "app" so you can listen to it anywhere.

Yeah streaming Pandora from your iphone or itouch is the norm now. Who needs satellite radio?

I'm not sure which part of "lifetime" in my post that you misunderstood.

That lifetime is only good while the company is in business which my not be for much longer.

Is it your lifetime or Sirius' lifetime? :lol:

Sirius, no doubt. I've already cleared my initial lifetime investment. I'm running free now. Added my wife to the lifetime deal this year.

well your investment is only good as long as the company is in business and the stations are only as good as who signs on with them. A lot of people are moving to internet, that's where all the good shit will be in a few years.

Stern in on Sirius. Thats all I listen to. So for me, Sirius is worth it. Next year when he probably retires, who knows.

Yeah just run that crap off your phone. I do all the time. The BB speaker is killer!

You're fucking high, kid. I just added another lifetime deal to my account. Still rocking 3 radios.

No way... as you can see... I'm on the front of the curve. Savin my money too!

Yea, no ads, 5 hours interrupted music, no monthly limits and a Pandora app for Win XP.

That is cool. Saw that on my phone... "upgrade pandora". How much?

Mine is awful. I don't even use it. I've opened Pandora on my BB once, the day I DL'd it. My speaker sucks donkey balls.

Stern is half of the reason I went with XM. I can't stand hin and didn't want to help him get paid.

Sirius bought XM, fool.

What? Are you sure? That's not what I heard but I don't have XM anymore so I don't pay close enough attention.

I'm absolutely sure.

Yeah, I just looked it up. I had it backwards. :zowned:

Have you tried listening to it with earphones or connected into a stereo via AUX jack?

Nope. No need to really, I just listen to Sirius most of the time. But thats a good idea.

[LeeNetworX]

You should give it a try. The thing about Pandora is, it will tailor the 'station' you listen to if you tell it what you like and don't like. It can also play a mix from all of the stations you create.

AND.. it played without a hitch in the carwash just now! :rockwoot: Sirius cut out in car washes, under bridges, and even while getting gas. :skep:

Well the Curve 8310 blows.

[Flexin]

You do realize that I first bought it before the buyout. I also don't pay for it anymore. But I did find out I can get it free from the rep because of my job. :)

I had it in reverse anyway.

I was told the Bold 9000 has two speakers. It sounds better then my laptop and is louder.

In Canada I was told its different. Its two companies tha buy the programing from XM and Sirus so its seperate today.

In the US they have one unit that they say get XM and Sirus stations.

And who the hell buys sat radio for talk radio? I bought it so I didn't have to hear anyone talk. They talk, I flip the channel.

I bought it specifically for talk, Stern talk. Radio second. Local radio blows with all the commercials. But, honestly, since the merger of the two companies I think the music programming has gone down hill. If Stern was on there I would a cancelled after the merger.

Everyone is different. I bought it to listen to different music. I can flip between hip hop, r&b, rock and so on.

You don't need to be listening to that Howard doofus anyway. Some shit is funny but it's mostly boring. I haven't heard him since the switch to satellite but his terrestrial show wasn't that good.

[Flexin]

When I was real young I used to watch his show late at night. The only reason for that was because of the woman he would get on the show and then talk them into getting naked. Then censored it but I still watched.

Later on I learned to hate the guy. He drove me nuts.

I love women but can't stand Stern.

Well there's your problem. I hated the terrestrial show too. It sucked. But it's a whole different ball game on Satellite. I love it...listen to the reply all F'n day. I'll hear the same shit 3 times in one day sometimes. It's great comedy. And there is NO better interviewer than Howard.

[marko138]

This was an outstanding idea. I had never thought of it. Tried it tonite by hooking up to my home stereo. Worked awesome. Thanks.

[Rangerscott]

The problem with Pandora that I had before (havent tried it lately) is if you give a song a thumbs down it would not play any more songs from that band. I didn't like the song, not the band silly willy.


Also, I seem to be stuck on the same eight bands. It wont find any more bands in the same genre.

[Gas Man]

I don't understand. My curve speaker works great.

I have ran my headphone jack to headphones and to my mp3 jack on the hd. Works great.

U guys do realize tt the media player in ur bb has a eq setting. Right?

And I'm with flexin. Don't like stern at all.

You can bring up Pandora on your computer, select the station and add variety. My metal station plays between 15 and 20 bands, some hard to find songs too.
