Pandora gets new features, QuickMix rocks
Not sure how I didn't notice this for a week, but Pandora now has a few new features, as described on the Pandora Blog. The biggest new features is the addition of a "QuickMix" button, which is a sort of super-shuffle for when you're in the mood for music from across the board. When you click on QuickMix, Pandora will start playing songs from all of your stations. You can edit the QuickMix to exclude stations you don't want in rotation. The other new features are just icing on the cake: A "Move song" option that lets you remove the current song from the current station and add it to another station, and a new function to sort your stations by name or date added.

I e-mailed Pandora about a month ago to design Holiday oriented stations. I really love, when come Christmas time, the old kind of classic "It's a Wonderful Life" era music - which is not exactly something you can find by typing in an artist or genre. Of course for me, it's Christmas music, but the idea can be widely applied to other holidays. Hopefully we'll see something like this appear as we draw closer to the Holidays - so petition for it. Petition them at suggest-music@pandora.com if you like this idea!!!

I want Pandora in the car, on my cell phone if they could integrate into MS MCE, life would be just grand.
Seriously, if you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out large.
And the best thing is, I don't need to give up disk space collecting MP3's anymore.
Awesome app.

They beat me by a few days.
I wanted to add same thing to OpenPandora. Now I have to think of some more advanced feature.

I'm using the latest OpenPandora right now. I really appreciate the miniplayer feature.
