Pandora Internet Radio an iPhone Success

Wednesday July 16, 2008 2:01 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
When the App Store launched, Pandora Radio [App Store] was one of the first applications available that promised streaming internet radio to your iPhone. Unique to Pandora, though, its use of the Music Genome Project to deliver personalized music based on your favorite artists, songs or composers.

Installation and registration for Pandora is quite simple and you'll easily be able to enter the names of artists that you like, and it automatically generates a station to play you music it thinks you will like. You can "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" individual songs to help further refine your music recommendations.



TechCrunch reports that Pandora's iPhone adoption is impressive. A new listener has been added every 2 seconds and 3.3 million tracks were streamed to iPhone listeners this past weekend. The music stream works on EDGE, 3G, and Wi-Fi networks.

Pandora is free and available at the App Store.

I use this on EDGE and surprisingly, it works great! Sometimes it takes 15-20 seconds to load between songs, but for such a great feature, the small wait is worth it.

Pandora IS truly the killer app for the iPhone. Having Pandora in my car has given me no reason to continue my XM subscription.

I dont get how something like this survives.

Who pays for their bandwidth? How come they can do this for free, don't the labels charge to use the music?

And for those in the UK, you get BBC iPlayer and we don't in the US. :cool:

We've had Last.fm in the UK for a few years which does the same, there's an iPhone app too.
