Well, the idea is that if they get it wrong, then you hit the Thumbs Down
button and the station is modified in the future. Gradually, it gets more
and more fine tuned to your taste.
I like Pandora for older types of music such as Progressive Rock, but
they're not very strong in many more modern genres of electronic music, so
I don't use it as much as I thought I would when I first got Hope.

Hi Rick,
Ok, I get frustrated with Pandora for the exact opposite reason you do.
I setup stations around a specific type of music. I have several for
bigbands, jazz and soforth. However, why they would put a Neil Diamond,
for
instance, in with Count Basey I don't have a clue. When I want jazz, I
want
jazz. When I want pop I want pop, but I don't want them all mixed
together.
Would I do better with Last FM or something else?

Hi,
1. Pandora will not let you merge in all stations into 1, but you do get
a
hundred slots. you might want to check out http://last.fm if you want a
more random experience. I think reading the philosophy of hope will give
you an idea of what their mission statement is. Basicly, they look at
songs, figure out characteristics for every song, and serve music bassed
on
that material. This falls flat with some obscure groups.
For example, create a station around the Legendary Pink Dots, and pandora
will fall flat.
2. Thanks to the DMCA, they can't always serve you up with the song or
even
band you've selected. Technically, an instant request on an internet
station is a no no.
3. I have no clue.
If you want a mix of your stations and flavors, try your mix station.
Pandora is interesting, useful, and fun. However, I personally prefer
last.fm, for my crazy outhere musical randomness.
Rick

Subject: just a few more hope questions
A note before I paste my questions in here. I hope this is the last few
?'s
that I will have for the hope program but in the meantime i want to know
these things
Hi i have just a couple of questions about the hope program for pandora.
First of all, when i buy the software will i be able to merge all my
stations into one. For example to make more room for other genre's? thanks
Also, when i search for a song, i do not get that just one song. Is there
--any way to search for just one song? Also one more little thing.
Sometimes when i do a search and then click on create station after i pick
from the list that results from thesearch hope does not add the station to
my list, but other times it works.
Does anybody know why?
thanks
