Pandora is a service that provides customized “radio stations” based on music you like.
Accounts can be either free (with occasional ads) or paid with a monthly subscription. It
is based on a program called the Music Genome Project, which is a database that
analyzes music and seeks to identify similarities between individual songs. The result is
an ability to predict whether a listener will like a song based on other songs that listener
has identified as liking. Pandora uses this database to create music playlists for its
users. By logging in to Pandora through the AV7005, a user can listen to their personal
stations. The chart below shows the controls available when using the AV7005’s
Pandora service.
