All I had to do was choose Bob Wills as a starting point and Pandora began selecting everything from Willie Nelson to Travis Tritt. Uh, no. Bob Wills is closer to Benny Goodman than to the country stars. The so-called "music genome" project is not science. It is a subjective measure based on obvious bias; in this case a bias that says "all country music is the same". I happen to hate most country music, but I'll drop what I'm doing to go out and hear any Western swing band. I happen to know a couple people who work for Pandora as listeners or evaluators or whatever they're called. They're not convinced that the "genome" project is very scientific at all. Their "engine" such as it is, appears to be a database that selects based on an average of about 30 of their 200 or so criteria. And it looks as if they toss in an occasional random selection about every 20 songs or so. |

Eventually it reached a point where Pandora kept playing the same songs over-and- over. I prefer a human programmer. They'll typically do a "no repeat workday" thus providing lots of variety, but also having a huge library of classic hits. Even an Ipod on shuffle is better than pandora. Computers are dumb, and the computer behind Pandora is also quite dumb with its poor selections & repetitive playing. |

I spoke with a Clear Chanel guy (yes, I do seem to know everybody) and
he told me that the Format Lab is a test designed to discover listener acceptance of new format ideas. He told me that they gauge number of listeners, time spent listening, time of day, and listener location (to a certain extent). I asked about registration, and he said that the idea is to bring in the most listeners possible and that registration reduces response by as much as 80%, so they don't do it. I don't know of any CCU stations that have used a Format Lab format in changing station formats, so I don't know the mechanism for doing that. I find myself listening to Format Lab often as I sit in cafes. Among my favorites at the moment are Undies (underground indies), and Vegas Gold, which is mostly lounge singers of yesterday and today. |

They'll typically do a "no repeat workday" thus providing lots of variety, but also having a huge library of classic hits. Sounds like you're simply scared of Pandora because it represents progress and technological innovation. Not really. I was one of the FIRST people to try pandora, almost two years ago. What...you mean you actually used the internet? Weren't you afraid that it would cease to exist before you could finish doing anything? You keep swinging-and-missing. BTW you really love your computer's internet. Have you tried "interfacing" with the female port yet? It's probably more exciting than teh blow-up doll you've been using. LOL....it's always easy to tell when a 'nerve' has been struck. I knew from the minute you opened your pie hole in this group that at bottom you're a technophobe. The fact that you're an engineer makes it even sweeter. |

The problem is the "personalized" music services, such as Pandor, Slacker, and Last.FM which allow the listener to program their own "personalized" music stations. clearchannelmusic.com/hdradio just runs what some programmer thinks listeners want to hear, not listener chosen, personalized playlists. The playlists on terrestrial radio are chosen by listeners. Not exactly. The listeners only get to choose from among the songs appearing on a master list which is compiled by someone in the industry. If a particular song isn't on that list, the listeners obviously can't choose it for a station's playlist. So the question is, who is the mystery person that compiles the master list of songs? That person holds the power of deciding what songs can be chosen by the listeners for the station playlist. |
