Okay, so last night I figured out how to get some music on my Droid. It’s really easy. If you need help, let me know. Perhaps I will even write a post on how to upload music to the Droid. Who knows. What I do know is that I now have a music player.
This evening (actually just a few minutes ago), I was reading an article about how developers of Droid apps saw an increase in downloads yesterday. One such app that saw a big uptick in downloads is a music player created by Pandora. When I read this, I said, “Hmmm.” I hadn’t really thought much about a music player on a PDA that actually streamed music from the internet. This opens up a whole new world.
I visited Pandora to see what it was all about. Apparently, some geniuses discovered a way to find music that is similar to what you like. Basically, when you visit their homepage, you are asked to type in the name of a song or group that you like. Then, Pandora will find music that is similar to what you typed in and start playing it. I typed in “Days of the New” and was happy to hear “Alice In Chains” and “Stone Temple Pilots.” After that, I heard some Days of the New. Where have I been? How long has this site been out there? It’s pretty awesome.
I haven’t tried to play any music on the Droid from Pandora yet. I downloaded the app and was warned that this service downloads some pretty hefty data, so I should be sure that I am on an unlimited data plan. I know I am, but I am going to give a call over to Verizon tomorrow just to make sure. Can you imagine listening to music that streams from the internet on a cell phone? Now, can you imagine that this music is what you actually like? That’s huge.

Pingback: How To Upload Music To The Droid
I could not get it to work on my Droid. The loading icon comes up when I create a station and it just spins. Did you do anything special to make it work?
I don’t think I did anything special. I experienced the same thing as you did with the spinning, but I only had 2 or 3 bars at the time. I closed it down after that and went online to register for an account. The next time I opened Pandora on my Droid, it began playing immediately.
I would suggest going outside or where there is stronger signal to give it a try. Also, have you registered online for a Pandora account?
I’d install this thing and use it if there were a plausible reason for it to have access to the contacts on my phone.
Hi I need help…
I got the pandora downloaded on my droid and the first search i did was for the cure. It found me some albums and even other related groups similar to the cure. My problem is, how can i search for other types of music. I am stuck on the cure. Help!
I have same problem as you Lila… stuck on one station!
Figured it out….. hit menu and log out. Now, log back in and nothing will be playing. Hit menu and you will now have the option to create a station available.
Yeah, that’s nuts. Why do they need access to my contacts? That’s way to much invasion of privacy.
To change the station hit the far left botton on the pandora app when listening to a station. Then it the droid menu button (4 horizontal lines) and hit the button that says something similar to “Create a new station”. I still need to figure out what hitting the thumbs up and down button does.
