The Catalyst

By Morgan Simoens, Reporter

Unknown music websites are the best to stumble upon when you are searching the internet. When you are able to listen to free music and search for other songs you may like, after you have typed in your own taste in tunes, is a dream come true. Pandora does simply that. How Pandora works is to satisfy your music needs by asking you to enter in just a few specific artists and/or songs that you happen to be fond of. Once you engage in your known favorites for a couple songs, Pandora begins its process of searching for other songs and artists that you might also be interested in listening to. It takes clues from the way the artist sings, what genre the artist stands in, or even how the song plays as far as the words. Surprising as it is, Pandora can categorize each of your hand picked artists so that they aren’t all mixed together. By creating an account with Pandora, not only are your playlists saved, but you also gain access to an email newsletter that suggests even more music for you. It is truly a great success to the music industry and should be known to all that wish to seek new and just as good jams as you thought you already had.
