What is a Pandora station?

A Pandora station is a personalized stream of music. You start a Pandora station by entering an artist name or a song title that is similar to the kind of music you’d like to hear.

Pandora compares your starting point to each song in Pandora’s massive music collection, using the detailed musical analysis in the Music Genome Project. Then your new Pandora station starts playing songs from a related corner of the musical universe.
Each Pandora station is completely unique to you. What you hear on your stations will be different from what everyone else hears, even when starting from the same artist or song.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Pandora’s music licenses prevent Pandora stations from doing certain things. For information on these licensing limits, please click here.

TIP: You can have up to 100 Pandora stations in your Pandora account. Pandora shines best when you have several different stations to choose from.
