Pandora

[juanpe]

Does anybody know this online radio station?

 

www.pandora.com

 

Probably yes, I just knew about it a couple of days ago and I'm totally addicted to it ;) and the good thing is that the selection it automatically makes fits perfectly ok with the band's style you introduce...

 

Just wanted to share it with you.

tried it and then moved on to last.fm.

[Sparq]

Yes. It is fantastic. I posted it quite a while ago, but it's good to have the reminder.

[Shakakahn]

wow I've never heard of it and I'm using it now. it's super cool. thanks for the tip

[Muran]

I've been using Pandora for awhile too, it's great fun.

[HoboFactory]

I stopped using it for some reason. I'm not even sure why.

[juanpe]

Yes. It is fantastic. I posted it quite a while ago, but it's good to have the reminder.

ooops, sorry, I didnt know that you had already posted about it ;)

[borntohula]

i didnt really like it. either it recommended bands i already listen to or tried listenning to, or it recommended these very obscure and not very good bands.

 

lastfm's recommendations are more actually based on your tastes... not just one band you listen to.

I'll try this one then and see how it works, because I didnt know this "lastfm" either.

 

thanx!

[Shiri]

You should try it out, it's really great and addictive!

[juanpe]

i've tried it for a couple of days but I still like Pandora more than last.fm ;)

RIP Pandora (in Canada)

 

I just got this e-mail. I have yet to see whether I will be able to bypass with a US proxy or something, but it looks like this may be the end. Which blows, because now I'll have to cart my music in to work from home.

 

Dear Pandora listener,

I got that email too yesterday....it's still working for now. Not sure how long it will be though ;) Sparq introduced me to this about a year ago and now it is dying off. RIP Pandora, if no other access is found, you will be missed.

[Muran]

I didn't get that e-mail, but man, I'm crushed. I loved Pandora...

[Sparq]

As of now, trying to use Pandora just redirects to that letter on their website. I have yet to try to get around it. Almost need a remote system in the states and a VPN connection from here, if a basic proxy won't work.

*sniff* *sniff*....blocked

 

EDIT: It's not looking like a simple webproxy is gonna do the job...

So, I'm listening to Pandora now...And it's all pimped out now too. I love how my stations are still there...

[Sparq]

How'd you swing that? Still blocked in Canada, last I saw.

 

Unless you're not in Canada. Or they think you're not.

[Muran]

Go to their website. According to their blog, about a few days after they blocked Canada, they were able to add it to the list of "ok" places to work.

 

So, we're fine and dandy now. Personally, I'm absolutely chuffed about it.

[Sparq]

Got a link? I still get the message they put up initially about restricting Canada.

[Muran]

Really? I just went to Pandora.com and it started loading up immediately. I was still logged in and everything.

[Sparq]

Yep...I get redirected to the Restricted message. I can log in, but any attempt to play a station sends me back to the main page message.

[Muran]

I have no idea why that would be? I live in Vancouver!

 

You're the IT guy, so you'd know better than I about things like this...

[Sparq]

I dunno. Being right on the border you might be getting directed through Seattle or something. Depends how their system identifies geographic location. Well. Lucky you ;)

[Muran]

So, has anyone tried this Jango site yet?

 

It's like Pandora?
