Interpretation
On average Pandora's song selection matched the tastes of the students I surveyed. Most students agreed with the reason each song was chosen. Almost across the board, as I read other students graphs, there seems to be almost a consensus that Pandora works and is relatively accurate. On the subject of having a program like Pandora, who can create an algorithm to predict your musical taste, most of the students I asked felt it was a negative thing. The idea was that a persons taste in music is completely relative and subjective. Although the survey showed that they liked the songs Pandora chose, it does not consider that a person can enjoy one artist in a genre and not another artist in the same genre. Music is a very personal thing and for the students I spoke to they felt that it would be negative to have Pandora try and predict their taste because many peoples tastes are so varied and their reasons for enjoying music not concrete but more emotional.
