Pandora


If Pandora Internet radio on an iPad was going to be your primary source, what kind of system would you put together to play it, without having one that far exceeded the quality of the source?

Mceljo - can you explain what you mean by in-home components?

I run Pandora One on an iMac and use Airfoil to send it to three separate systems, the iMac locally, a small system in my basement and my living room system, the latter two through an Airport Express attached to each.
I understand the term "in-home components" to mean components that have Pandora build-in from the factory as opposed to computers where you have to download the application. Examples would be my Integra AVR or Samsung Blu-ray player. These just required me to enter a password to get started.
Right, thanks.

As far as I know the ways you can access Pandora are through a browser, a desktop application running on a PC or Mac or a mobile app on an iPhone, iPad or Android device. I think Spotify and Mog work similarly but Mog does work directly through some LG Blu-Ray players and other streaming devices according to their site.
I just upgraded to Pandora One and can't believe such a small bitrate difference sounding so amazing. Yes, of course CD, SACD and hi-res is even better - but, I've almost unlimited music for the price of barely one album!
A little bright depending on the track but mostly v good.
Pretty much a no brainer.
