    I love Digital Music. It's easy to find channels that I listen to. The music comes in real clear on some channel. At times I have to really find different channels.

    I listen to Pandora every night to go to sleep. I love it. The only thing is the music cuts off sooner than before. When that happens I have to answer them letting them know yes I'm still listening. I love the artist I listen to.

    Wish I could better radio stations, and more local variety. They play a lot of great albums, but they could have earlier tunes, that I can't seem to find single tunes on albums. They are good, nevertheless.

    I started with the Pandora app since it first came out. It's easy to use, like how I can pick my type of music and artist. All the other apps are too much just to set up. I just like the old school things. Hate the new apps and all the extra stuff they come with...

    I really like Pandora. Sounds great on my sound bar. I can pick all the songs I like from the 70s. And at $4.99 a month it is great. Like to listen at night and think back to my younger days. 70s were great.

    I don't like it when the station tells you that it's free. But every time you turn it on. They ask you to try it for a month for free. Then they bill you after you text them stop. It took 3 months last time to stop billing me.

    Way too expensive. What's the point. Highway robbery. They should make music more affordable. It's just as much as a cable bill. Pointless. I would use Amazon which you pay for a year 99.00.

    Great service. Love that you can make your own stations based on an artist you like & they will find similar songs. Also love the fact that there is a mechanism to reject songs you don't favor & they will not be played again. Lyrics for songs are also available.

    I like being able to set a channel for a particular type of music or a musician. I don't like the painfully repetitive ads for Luminosity - every other song sometimes! Plus the constant need to be near enough to click, "yes, I'm still listening" every few minutes. When I have it on I'm doing yard work, cooking or entertaining and it is very annoying to stop everything and go back to my iPad to click yes. Also, the channels have a limited number of songs from the selected artist, so after a short while it's all other musicians. I'm on the free level but I only use it once or twice a week, not enough to justify the paid service.

    I enjoy being able to look up my favorite singer and then saving them as a station so I don't have to keep looking them up every time. They also have unlimited music I've seen so much in my life. I never get bored with Pandora around.

    Really like Pandora for my preferred music of choice depending on my mood. Ads are a bother for the free subscription, but the upside is that they are short and sweet and then they're done and it's back to my music again. Also, the website is kept simple so that it is sooo easy and fun to use.

    I love using Pandora, as it's like a customization radio. I don't even mind the commercials as I've grown up with commercials on the radio. What I have found though is a very limited number of songs and I can listen for a couple of hours and hear songs I just heard the day before. Also, sometimes the stations I pick end up playing songs that are really don't seem to fit in as far as the genre or type of music.

    It's overall a good listening experience. The ability to save songs as favorites and to delete other songs you dislike is a great feature. There are sometimes some odd selections played for the genre you have selected though. If I'm listening to a Motown station for example, and a Neil Diamond song comes on, I find that a bit strange. The sound levels vary from song to song too, one song may be loud and the next one may be not loud enough. If I had my druthers, they'd all be played at the same volumes and I could set my sound system to the volume I want and walk away. I use the free Pandora so I expect some negatives such as commercials but they're not excessive, and it beats the heck out of listening to FM radio.

    Pandora has a great selection of music and the ability to let subscribers create their own radio channels. However, navigation is less than easy -- I sometimes just settle for the last channel I listened to because moving to another channel is unusually complicated. No direct contact for subscribers to get navigation help. New site design homepage uses such a small font that I have to get up and walk across the room in order to move around in the site.
