Pandora

Well the good news is, that after resetting my phone I had to go back into Market to load my apps. I checked for Pandora again and there it was. :D

So at least something good came of it.
 
Yes Pandora works great with the Hero. Sound quality is great. One thing that I noticed that my old Pre was able to do with Pandora that the Hero version can't is scroll back to songs you've already listened to and rate them if you were unable to do so while they were playing. I listen to Pandora on the Hero while driving on my car stereo, so I can't usually rate the songs while I drive (I don't want to wreck).

Sound quality wise, the Hero plays music better through my car stereo than the Pre. They really did make the music system in this device very top notch.

Slacker needs to get an app out for Android now as well!
 
I'm very happy with the Pandora, in fact I mowed the lawn Sunday with wifi and bluetooth running, and the only problem is that the bluetooth cuts out if line of site is interupted. In other words, if the phone is in my left front pocket, and I turn my head fully to the right, the audio breaks up. I don't know if it's the headphones fault, or the Hero's fault. I'll figure it out at some point.

Most new cars have an aux input. Your honda does, but if it isn't installed, you can go to the dealership, buy the $40 wiring harness, plug it into the back of your radio, and BOOM. You have internet radio.

I am speculating at this point. I only know you're behind the wheel of a honda. I don't know what year, but if you give me the detailed info, I can look up the part numbers for you.
 
i just downloaded Pandora to my device and i like it, but can someone explain something to me , how do i bring up the search function on it because i want to add additional styles/ genre's of music. the only style that plays is the choice i originally set-up ( hard-rock)

thanks

Sorry for bumping an old topic.

I'm kindof interested in this too. I read on Pandora's site that it's 150 kbps, but somewhere else said it's 128 kbps.

A Google search said that it's about 1 mb per minute.
So roughly 60 mb an hour.
So about 1.5 GB if you're streaming all day.

The calculation...

Is that mostly correct?
