Pandora vs. Pandora One. Any audible difference?

Stl114_nj: I echo your' sentiments, it has been great in helping me to discover new music. I love it. I bet your "Kid" setup is cool!

I'm planning to upgrade my Pandora access as well. In addition to improved audio quality, will anyone comment about a broader range of music? On several of the "radio stations" I now have, it seems I hear the same couple dozen recordings over and over. It gets kind of boring. I'm hoping variety will increase if I upgrade. Please advise if you have experience in this regard. Apologies to Umn for a partial hi-jacking - but hopefully this query is still relevant and helpful.

I listen to blues on internet radio and that has helped me identify new artists since I see the artist info and search for other albums. I look up on amazon and there are other recommendations that I look into as well. I also listen to bellyup4blues. I agree that with Pandora there are repeats of a particular artist if that is how you built the playlist, but it also attracts other similar music.

Just upgraded to Pandora One; an audible difference!

Ghosthouse - the more things you give thumbs up, the wider the variety you will get. The more thumbs down you give (or no feedback) the narrower it will get. That is the essence of the Pandora approach - finding songs that are "similar to" what you indicate you like. Sometimes you will have to go to the preferences for the station and add more artists and variety.
