Music streaming service Pandora relaunches in Australia

[silicon_toad2000]

the company was forced to block access to Australians in 2007 after it was forced by the US Copyright Board to double the royalties it was paying performers, making it financially impossible to run the service outside of the US.

Unlike its competitors, Pandora works by recommendation. It creates playlists based on your initial song choice. For example if you choose Wonderwall by Oasis, it might then offer you Say It Ain't So by Weezer.

If you don't like the choices offered to you by Pandora you can simply skip to the next song.

The Australian Pandora relaunch demonstrates that the company is ready to get into the "streaming wars" as it competes for market share with MOG, Grooveshark, Spotify, Rdio and others.
