Playlists probably was the thing Spotify had that pandora didn’t have that made Spotify get big, you can make playlists now. I only use pandora because it’s music discovery is so good tbh. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) I’m not entirely sure how selecting the song or songs you want to listen to differs from a playlist, but ok.

Internet radio existed before pandora came along, pandora was novel in that it implemented the music genome project. The idea of the user selecting the next song was counter to their intent. Playlists, and/or the user selecting their songs wasn’t exactly novel except for the free2play model w/ads allowing its widespread adoption. IMO pandora paved the way for the commercial viability of Spotify, now pandora has playlists and you can select individual songs and albums.
