Get episodes of the Pandora podcasts from http://blog.pandora.com/podcast/. Pandora is an automated music recommendation and Internet radio service created by The Music Genome Project. Users begin by entering a song or artist that they enjoy, and the service responds by playing selections that it thinks are musically similar. Users are then able to provide feedback on the individual song choices — approval or disapproval — which the system takes into account for future selections. Over 400 different musical aspects are considered when selecting the next song. Examples of these are rhythm syncopation, key tonality, vocal harmonies and displayed instrumental proficiency. The service has two subscription plans: a free subscription supported by ads, and a fee-based subscription without these ads. The Pandora media player is based on Open Laszlo, allowing for simple cross platform portability. MSN Radio is now powered by Pandora. The stations run off Pandora.com and use Pandora accounts rather than Windows Live IDs. Pandora podcasts delve into the techniques and styles of music, and give listeners a unique insight into the many ways in which the music they love is produced.
