New Features at Pandora
October 13th, 2006“We’ve heard quite often that you want ways to get a wider variety of styles in one listening session. Some of you are looking for stations that are an eclectic mix of all of the kinds of music you love, not just one style. Tonight we’re rolling out a brand new feature called ‘QuickMix’ to answer that request head on. When you visit Pandora, you’ll discover the QuickMix button at the bottom of your station list. Click the button, tell us which of your stations you want to mix together, and click ‘Listen Now’. We’ll automatically create a station that shuffles those stations together. You can also share your mix station with your friends.” (Pandora Blog - 10/12/06)
