Well I downloaded it for my dad on his blackberry a while back and I just now got it to work. I go to the Spin Doctors radio and it plays "two princes" and after that it goes to another song by another band. I figure it did that cause its messed up so I try it on the Blues Traveler radio and does the same, now I'm thinking its cause the Spin Doctors and Blues Traveler arn't huge bands. So I try it on Green Day radio, same thing... and again on chili peppers radio. I'm stumped. Does anybody know how to fix this or even just why its happening?

Thanks

You do know how Pandora works, right? You set a station based on an artist or song, and based on that selection, it plays music it "thinks" you will enjoy. It doesn't play that artist's catalog.

If seeing Billy Corgan and then catching flaws in a stupid app is fail... then sure why not! :D

Edit: Hell, Why not!? Sigged.

Yes. Pandora works that way, which is bad for me because I am overly picky about my music (and because I like a certain band whose singer sounds like a band saw trying to cut through piece of metal pipe with a microphone stuck to it, and only like that one band), as well as a self-righteous, overly-pretentions-at-times snob when it comes to music.

Pandora is pretty cool, though...

It's called listening to their albums.

Thats expensive. Lets see... $7 for a used album, $15 for a new album, or $1 per song (if not more) on iTunes. I buy albums when I really feel its necessary but other than that I don't buy music really, and as a musician I wouldn't ever download illegal music. I can imagine doing it cause its not that bad ect ect but I feel I need to support them.

part of your problem is in the last part of this post. There are no free music listening things on the internet, except LaLa, which got bought by Apple, and maybe iLike, but I got nothing aside from interweb radioz and Piracy. Those seem like your only options...

Just delete the songs when you are done listening to them. That way you aren't stealing. its just like listening to the radio, only with no commercials.

Giving back the items after you've made use of them doesn't make it not stealing...:rolleyes:

The thing about pandora, is that it's free because it has commercials. they're giving you music in the same genre / area as the music you like, in general. It's an awesome source for new music. Want to listen to one artist's work, buy the box set. Artists deserve to get paid, whether through advertising profits or cd sales. As a musician, I would think this should be old news.
