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 -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network. Visit www.serotek.com to learn more about accessibility anywhere.

Re: just a few more hope questions
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.

RE: just a few more hope questions
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?

Re: just a few more hope questions
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.
