Mendon Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Not sure if anyone is interested, but Pandora Radio has now added a Video Game Music channel to its lineup: http://www.pandora.com/station/play/839275355187974219 I went to the above link and the first three songs I heard were from Assassin's Creed, Metal Gear Solid, and Shenmue Chapter One.

jhd Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Unfortunately Pandora checks IP addresses and it is only available to American listeners... It wasn't that way when they first started. It's been like 5 or 6 years now, and I'm still bitter about the change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 ugh.. honestly I can't really stand some "modern" game soundtracks. I feel more comfortable with this crap: http://nesguideradio.com/cgi-bin/8bit.cgi?hvheEmGfhu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Jesus Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Nice! Added.. I love Pandora and listen to it all the time. I actually pay for the upgraded One service, so I have no commercials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalSlime23 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I found that they have a good chiptunes station as well. Just do a search for "chiptunes" and you will find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Usa only... had pandora years ago till they changed.. it was great. Now we got f all..wish canadain laws were different. or is it pandoras choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 I've been listening to the channel while browsing the web the last couple days and I've discovered that Pandora is playing a LOT of Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, and Halo. Would be nice if they mixed in more game titles but maybe there are licensing agreement problems standing in the way. I've enjoyed listening to the station but they need some more variety.

Now we got f all..wish canadain laws were different. or is it pandoras choice? My understanding is that Pandora has chosen (or is obliged by its license agreements with music publishers) to limit service to American-registered IP addresses. There is a notice on their website about expanding service to other countries/markets, but that has remained unchanged for many years now and I doubt that it is actively being pursued.

Mord Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Usa only... had pandora years ago till they changed.. it was great. Now we got f all..wish canadain laws were different. or is it pandoras choice? Both. It's because pandora wished Canada had US laws that made it very cheap to license all the music without asking for explicit permission from each copyright holder involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
