As the music plays, a graphic of the album from which the song is taken is dis-
played, along with the title of the album, the title of the song, and the name of
the artist. Beneath that is a slider that shows you the progress of the current
song. (Unfortunately, you can’t move forward and backward through the song
using this slider; it just shows you the progress.)
NOTE
If you switch to something else on your NOOK Tablet while you’re listening to music on
Pandora—reading a book, say—Pandora keeps the music playing. To make it stop, tap the small Pandora
icon in the Notification bar, and then tap the Pandora notification that appears. That switches you to
Pandora. Tap the stop button to stop the music.
Want to know why Pandora chose the current song for you? Tap the little infor-
mation button to the right of the slider, and Pandora gives you the details. You
may or may not understand what it’s telling you, but it’s well worth checking
out. For example, when playing the Tom Petty song “Love is a Long Road,”
Pandora might say it chose the song for you because “it features rock song
structure, a subtle use of vocal harmony, a vocal-central aesthetic, extensive
vamping, minor key tonality, electric rhythm guitars, a dynamic male vocal-
ist, and many other similarities identified in the Music Genome Project.” What
“extensive vamping” means is anybody’s guess…point is, Pandora usually suc-
ceeds in playing music you’re sure to enjoy.
