Factors include: Melody, Rhythm, Lyrics and More.
Pandora's musicologists have extensive backgrounds in music. Each is required to have a 4 year degree in Music Theory, Composition or Performance. They spend at least 30 minutes dissecting each and every song ensuring a personalized experience in which Pandora plays only music you love.

KristinaWeis's Comments on Pandora.com
- KristinaWeis (delighted) : It's nice to be able to listen to and be introduced to new bands that are similar to your existing favorites, and it's a neat way to find your next favorite. The only downside to the site is the somewhat overbearing advertising that changes frequently and takes up much of the screen, but that's often the price for such a good free service.
