When was the last time you fell in love with a new artist or song?
At Pandora, we have a single mission: To play music youll love and nothing else. To understand just how we do this, and why we think we do it really, really well, you need to know about the Music Genome Project. Since we started back in 2000, we have been hard at work on the Music Genome Project. Its the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken. Together our team of fifty musician-analysts has been listening to music, one song at a time, studying and collecting literally hundreds of musical details on every song. It takes 20-30 minutes per song to capture all of the little details that give each recording its magical sound melody, harmony, instrumentation, rhythm, vocals, lyrics ... and more close to 400 attributes!
We continue this work every day to keep up with the incredible flow of great new music coming from studios, stadiums and garages around the country. With Pandora you can explore this vast trove of music to your hearts content. Just drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into Pandora and let the Genome Project go. It will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings new and old, well known and completely obscure to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you. You can create as many stations as you want. And you can even refine them. If its not quite right you can tell it so and it will get better for you. The Music Genome Project was founded by musicians and music-lovers. We believe in the value of music and have a profound respect for those who create it. We like all kinds of music, from the most obtuse bebop, to the most tripped-out drum n bass, to the simplest catchy pop tune. Our mission is to help you connect with the music YOU like. We hope you enjoy the experience!

(1) if you have trouble connecting the radio to your wireless network, these steps may help to resolve the problem Confirm that a Wi-Fi or Ethernet Wired connected PC can access the internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network. Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address on the radio. Check that you firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80,554,1755,5000, and 7070. Some access points may be set so that only equipment with registered MAC addresses can connect to them. This is one possible cause of the Internet Radio being unable to connect to the Wi-Fi network, and the Internet Radio display will show Bad ESSID or key. To overcome this problem you will need to add the Internet Radios MAC address to the list of allowed equipment in your access point. The Internet Radios MAC address can be found using the menu item Configure-
>Network Config ->View Config -> MAC address. You will need to refer to the guide for you Access Point in order to enter the Internet Radio as an allowed piece of equipment. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or passphrase into the radio. Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive. If your wireless network name(ESSID) is Hidden(a setting on the wireless access point), then you can either turn on the name, or you can manually enter the name into the internet radio and media player, Select Configure, Select network, Enter ESSID. Confirm if the Network is encrypted, e.g. requires a WEP or WPA key, then enter the network name.
(2) if your radio can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to play particular stations, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be located in a different time zone). The station has too many people trying to attach to the radio station server and the server capacity is not large enough. The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners. The station is not broadcasting anymore. The link on the radio is out of date. This is updated automatically every day, so the next time you turn on the link will be recognised. The internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) and you is slow. Some internet service providers may fail to stream in certain geographical areas. Try using a PC to play back the stream via the broadcasters web sit. If you can play back the station with a 11 PC, use the form at http://www.reciva.com/station/add_station.asp to notify us so that we can change the station data that is used by the radio. If you have a laptop, try connecting it if your Internet Radio cannot find the station.
(3) if the internet Radio keeps re-buffering radio station:
The Internet Radio is streaming the data from the radio station via your broadband connection, if there is a high error rate on your broadband connection, or the connection is intermittent, then it will cause the Internet Radio to pause until the connection is re-established and it has received enough data to start playing again. If your Internet Radio keeps stopping, please check the DSL modem to ensure that the Broadband line is not suffering a high error rate or disconnections. If you are experiencing these problems, you will need to contact your broadband supplier.
(4) What is Buffering?
When playing a stream, the Internet Radio/Media player, downloads a small amount of the stream before it starts playing. This is used to fill in any gaps in the stream that may occur if the internet or the wireless network is busy. The Internet Radio streams music data from the PC while you are listening. If a stream gets blocked or experiences Internet congestion while transferring it may stop/interfere with the quality of play. If this happens, check your internet connection speed- it must be faster than the speed of the streams. 12 Caution:
