With more than 200 million registered listeners, more than a billion hours of music streamed every month, and more than 30 billion pieces of thumb feedback since launch, to say Pandora has an enormous amount of data would be an understatement. The popular personalized radio service was built on data from The Music Genome Project and data plays a key role today in determining what music plays and when on each individual listeners’ stations. Hear from Pandora's Chief Scientist on how he and a team of playlist engineers analyze and learn from these massive data sets with billions of data points to figure out how to consistently deliver the right track to the right listener at the right time.
