Pandora does indeed work on Opera

As I'm typing this, I'm using the Pandora tuner in a different tab of Opera... so I'm not sure if that's from an older version of Opera, but it certainly works on Opera browsers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.21.228.234 (talk) 18:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I use Opera 12.17 for serious browsing but Opera 30 for heavy sites, including video and audio. Pandora does work with Opera 30. I would not try it with Opera 12.17 because it would be likely to overload it and crash it.

Note, however, that Opera 12.17 is the last Opera version that uses a true Opera engine. All later versions are based on Chrome. In particular, Opera 30 is a version of Chrome. ---Dagme (talk) 01:12, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Listening from outside the US

I'm listening from Romania, and everything works ok. It appears the site isn't restricted to the US anymore? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.123.97.115 (talk) 12:30, 22 September 2011 (UTC) I listen every day in Argentina, but I use a VPN to trick Pandora into thinking I'm in the USA. I can usually turn the VPN off, and it will continue without problems. I used to have to leave the VPN turned on. 168.232.250.231 (talk) 13:54, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Pandora without subscription

I heard Pandora at the homes of friends and liked the sound. They recommended it to me, saying that I should try to get a free subscription.

I went to the site and was invited to choose an artist or genre. I entered "Jazz" and it immediately started playing an excellent selection of jazz tunes. I have not subscribed.

It seems to me that this article is way off base in only discussing subscription service. I don't understand why there is no mention of access without subscription. ---Dagme (talk) 01:19, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

I downloaded the app. Music is good but I can't find a way to exit the app. I had to turn my phone off. Do you know anything about this? Lswallow900 (talk) 03:53, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Neutral point of view

Regarding the sentence:

"Yet even with all of its competition, Pandora's Promoted Stations rely on its core Music Genome Project. Overall, the Music Genome Project of more than 450 attributes assigned to each song with a human-curated database of recorded music gives a big edge over competitors like Spotify and Beats Music."

I propose that "gives a big edge over competitors" could be reworded to "is used as a key point of difference from competitors" to maintain neutrality.

--163.189.7.40 (talk) 05:29, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

I think that the organization of this article could be better specifically in the competition part

Also i think that maybe more information should be implemented it has an almost Darwinian approach to the integrated content

Furthermore the delineation of pandora versus its competitors could be slightly more defined.

Also I think maybe some more insider knowledge on pandora might be useful, a different mentality would freshen up the stale feel of this article.

I think that overall its a great article with a lot of great information with minimal organization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:5B00:A300:BCBE:A0F1:5BEF:2692 (talk) 05:25, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

SiriusXM stake

For those out of the blue, after rumors that SiriusXM was going to buy Pandora, they announced today that they were going to invest $480 million into Pandora by buying a 19% stake in the company. Should we update the page to reflect that? --MysteryMii215 (talk) 17:28, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
