A bit off Linux Audio, but not far.
Just published, an article by me on the Pandora Radio Service. This
includes a bit of behind the scenes technical aspect (3rd page).
If you have any comments, please post them there (or here.) I'd really
like to know how people like the Pandora service compared to others like
Last-FM and how music-recommendation services work for them.
You can find it here:

Hope you like it.

forgive my ignorance. upon reading your article, i see that pandora's tuner is
simply flash, which of course does run on linux (with some futzing, which i'm
not good at, so i don't have it on my current machine, which is why i thought
that pandora did not run on linux).
keep up the good work!

"simply flash", ugh. The Linux flash player is so bad that Flash web
sites are basically unusable under Linux.

I know what you mean. A lot of them don't work. But, they've made
Pandora work well.
The Pandora swf file is made with open-source OpenLazlo.

Hmm... I don't have to futz with Flash at
all. Luckily it doesn't
require the latest flash plugin. Pandora, obviously, works fine for me.

I think Lee summed it up. Flash can be problematic on Linux, which means that
Pandora will be problematic for some (not all) Linux users.
Good article. Thanks for the pointer.

What do you mean? Do you mean what is the
"Linux Audio" connection?
While, I did state it is a bit off topic, they do use Linux in the
backend to serve audio. You can read more about it on page 3.
Other than that, the only relation to Linux Audio is the music aspect. I
thought others on this ml might be interested in the "behind the scenes"
aspect.
And, if anyone hasn't heard of Pandora, or any music-recommendation
services for that matter - not limited to Pandora, you might check them out.
