Hi Everyone,

 

I'm sure that by now a lot of you are aware of Pandora www.pandora.com
<http://www.pandora.com/> , the streaming audio and 'music discovery
service' powered by the Music Genome Project. 

 

It's very cool, has an interesting operating model and is growing but is
weak on the world/global side of things. I contacted them about this and
they replied that they are "rather US-centric right now" but are working
hard to build up their international music collection and that their
'US-centricity' is going to start changing as they introduce music from
around the world. Incidentally, if you look at their genre category list,
you'll see a space at the end where (an admittedly very broad) "World" could
go.

 

The point of all this is (with their blessing): Send your releases!
http://blog.pandora.com/faq/#31. 

 

Please note that I am not involved with them in any way. Just trying to help
further The Cause.

 

 

 

 

Regards,
