An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A pioneer of taste-algorithm radio stations: works well for background listening when you do not want to build playlists. The key flaw is that a station created around an artist drifts far from the original artist over time.

I updated Pandora and it totally wiped my account! I had to sign in and choose stations all over again. I had my "curated list" - YOU deleted it. Not good, Pandora.

Some people have a playlist they like to listen to but, I like the variety and random new tracks and artists that a radio station offers🤷🙌🥰
