How does Pandora work?
"Pandora relies on a Music Genome that consists of 400 musical attributes covering the qualities of melody, harmony, rhythm, form, composition and lyrics. It's a project that began in January 2000 and took 30 experts in music theory five years to complete. The Genome is based on an intricate analysis by actual humans (about 20 to 30 minutes per four-minute song) of the music of 10,000 artists from the past 100 years. The analysis of new music continues every day since Pandora's online launch in August 2005. As of May 2006, the Genome's music library contains 400,000 analyzed songs from 20,000 contemporary artists. You won't find Latin or classical yet: Pandora is in the process of developing a specialized Latin music Genome and is still deep in thought about how to approach the world of classical composition.
When you arrive at Pandora.com, the first thing you see is the player, which is pretty sweet. It's Web-based (no download), minimalist and seamless.
Pandora.com is our interface with the Music Genome Project database. All you do to get started is type a song or artist into the main field of the player. If we type in, say, "Ben Folds" and click the "create" button, we've created a radio station called "Ben Folds Radio" that will only play songs with similar musical traits to Ben Folds' songs."

Jem's song, "It's Amazing" off her CD Down to Earth
Lyrics:
Do it now
You know you are
You feel it in your heart
And your burning and wishin
At 1st wait, it won't be on a plate
Your gonna work for it harder and harder
And I know cause I've been there before
Knockin on door with rejection (rejection)
And you'll see cause if it's ment to be
Nothing can compare to deserving your dream
[Chorus]
It's amazing it's amazing all that you can do
It's amazing it makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you
Pactents now frustration in the air
And people who don't care
Well it's gonna get you down
And you'll fall (fall)
Yes you will hit a wall
Get back up on your feet
And you'll be stronger and smarter
And I know I've been there before
Knockin on door wont take no for an answer
And you'll see cause if it's ment to be
Nothing can compare to deserving your dream
[Chorus]
It's amazing it's amazing all that you can do
It's amazing it makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you
Ooo-ooo-ooo
[electric voice]
It's amazing it's amazing all that you can do
It's amazing it makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you
It's amazing it's amazing all that you can do
It's amazing it makes my heart sing
Now it's up to you
Ahh-ahh-ahh
