When running the Pandora survey

When running the Pandora survey, many of the girls that I surveyed were shocked by the music choices that Pandora made for them. For all of the stations, they started with the named artist and went off from there. Many of the girls either didn’t have an idea of what was playing at the moment, or knew exactly what it was. There were no reactions that centered towards the middle. As unknown songs kept playing, girls made comments like “I like this song” or “If I knew who they were before, I probably would already be listening to them.” The majority of the surveys had a similar experience with choice of songs, with an average of 4.45. I took out the one negative experience with Pandora. With this negative rating, the average would have been 4.12. Though there isn’t a large difference in the average, her personal answers and reactions were very different, comparing her to the other girls.

 

 

Each series corresponds with the songs that were played ie. series 1 = song 1.
