Muito mais escolhas (e diversidade) no Pandora
«Equally unique is the breadth of our playlist. Pandora musicologists will review any CD that is delivered to us, and in most cases enter it into our database and make it available for our millions of listeners to hear. Pandoras collection includes hundreds of thousands of songs across the genres of Pop, Rock, Jazz, Electronica, Hip Hop, Country, Blues, R&B, Latin and in just a few weeks, Classical. These recordings range from the most popular artists to the completely obscure, and each month our nearly fifty musicologists analyze and add roughly 14,000 new songs to the catalogue a very deliberate process that requires between 15 and 30 minutes per song.
There are no prerequisites for inclusion in the Music Genome Project. Indeed, it is quite common for us to add amateur homemade CDs to the service. As a card-carrying independent musician I am proud to report that fully 70% of the sound recordings in our collection, representing over 35,000 artists, are recordings of artists who are not affiliated with a major record label. Most important, because we rely only on musical relevance to connect songs and create radio playlists, all artists are treated equally in the playlist selection process and as a result independent music is likely heard more on Pandora then perhaps any other popular radio service. More than 50 percent of Pandora radio performances are from independent musicians, compared to less than 10 percent on broadcast radio. (...) individuals can hear the types of music they enjoy and simultaneously discover new songs and artists that would otherwise be literally invisible
to them. Unconstrained by spectrum limitations, webcasting has created a genuine explosion of accessible musical diversity. Lute music, classic country, jazz, klezmer, dixie, gospel, Latin and Hawaiian music you name it and you can find it every kind and color of music has found a home and connected with its audience, no matter how small, on the Internet.»
