Pandora has existed for a while as an internet radio site-- http://www.pandora.com/ However, it was never very popular until it debuted as an app for the iPhone. Pandora is an app that allows users to listen to and find new music. Other internet radio apps usually allow you no control over the music that you listen to. However, with Pandora, you can create customized radio stations which have songs similar to the artist that you choose. So for instance, if you only feel like listening to songs by /similar to Eminem's, then you can create a station with only those kind of songs. It works very similar to the iTunes' genius feature. However, if you want to mix it up further, you can combine your artist stations for even more variety. Another excellent feature that the Pandora app has is the ability to skip songs. The free version allows you to skip upto 6 songs per hour which is more than enough. However, if you want maximum control over your music, then you can opt for the paid version of the app.The app also shows album arts and artist biographies for those who are interested in such things.
Pandora can be used on both the iPhone and also the iPod touch. However I find that it's functionality is greatly increased in the iPhone. This is because Pandora needs a data connection to be used. For the iPod touch, the only way to aquire this is by having a WiFi connection. However with the iPhone, the data plan allows you to listen to the music anytime, anywhere. However, one of the big drawbacks of this is that Pandora uses up a lot of the iPhone's new 2GB/month data plan. If this is an issue, then the iPhone can still use WiFi to provide the same music experience that an iPod touch would give. For those of you who are looking for a full music experience on your iPhone or iPod touch, this is the app for you!
Pandora is simply amazing. I type in a song in the generator and it automatically chooses songs of that type, and sometimes it introduces these songs that i never heard of but they sound great
