Pandora offers music through streaming radio

Listening “modes” (Pandora now lets users change its algorithm for selecting music):
My Station: Pandora’s original algorithm
Crowd Faves: favours the songs that get the most thumbs-ups by other users in that station
Deep Cuts: serves up lesser-known songs by an artist or in a genre
Discovery: plays more artists that aren’t usually on that station
Newly Released: only picks the newest songs from an artist or in a genre
Artist Only: lets you binge entirely on a single artist’s catalogue
YouTube Audio Content ID works worldwide, but the effectiveness of each claim depends on the territory in which you are the owner of the copyright.
Paid Plays: When Pandora serves your music to a customer, you get paid a proportionate share of Pandora’s subscription revenue per month calculated on terms set out in our agreement with the service (this usually excludes streams during a subscriber’s free trial). Payments will fluctuate each month, depending on the amount of subscription revenue generated and how often your music was streamed.
It takes anywhere from 3-7 business days for content to go live on Pandora after it has been distributed to the channel
