I've been a big fun of Pandora Radio for a long time. It's a good way to listen to your favorite music at a low cost, I mean...for free.

Pandora was the first app I downloaded from the app store to my iPhone, that is the proof of the love I have towards the service.

Lately I have found some cons about the service, for both, the website and the iPhone app. So here are the pros and the cons.

Pros:

I love that it's free

I love that I have discovered other bands through the recommendation/similarity engine

I love that it covers many music genders and artists (I have found most of my Spanish 80's pop bands)

I love that they have an iPhone App


Cons:

When you are on the same radio station for a while, let's say 2+ hours, same songs play again and again, that is annoying!!

The impossibility to search for a certain song that you like. Let's say I like a song from Cold Play and I really love it but only that one, I don't want to listen to other Cold Play songs.

The recommendation engine sometimes is not really good, so sometimes I find myself listening to bands or music types that I don't like at all

It stops when you receive a call or a text message on your iPhone. I think that happens to most of the iPhone apps, but it really bothers me when i am listening to my music and it stops because a stupid call.

I've always enjoyed using Pandora's free internet streaming music, and now I'm loving Pandora's free application on my iPhone. The controls are much like iTunes, but it does lack the option to minimize without interruption of the song playing.  Works great on the EDGE network!
