[iPad] Pandora channel listings?

Your mother has used Pandora before and has created her own stations?

What do mean by "stations"? Pandora is about music discovery so typically you enter a genre or artist name (and maybe even a song name) and Pandora creates a "radio station" based on that "preference".

I found the list of genres this way: Stations >> Search >> tap on + >> Browse Genre Stations comes up and tap on that.

You can also find genre stations by entering a term in the "Artist, Song or Composer" search box at top left of screen on iPad. For instance, enter Jazz or Christmas in that search box and there will be suggestions including the Genre Stations.

she just signed up for pandora on her iPad. yes she has a couple of stations including the rolling stones

@darcilicious
i can tap on the stations, but that just goes to that station. tapping the + in search does nothing.

creating a station based on artists is great but i want her to be able to browse the list of genre stations.

reply to Clutch_Head
not being able to browse the genre stations, which i can on my PC is just plain stupid.

reply to Clutch_Head
OK -- what is going on when you go to Pandora.com is that it is redirected to the app. I believe that this is a function of Safari, the iPad, and the way apps work. I don't know if you can change that but I just tried Pandora with a couple of different browsers. Perfect Browser brings up a pop up screen advising that there is an app associated with that URL and asks if you want to use the app. iCabMobile doesn't recognize the app link and simply takes you to the web page. Once on the web page, you can browse genre stations just as on a regular computer, add the station, then go to the app and it should be in the list of stations.

ah, gotcha darcilicious. yeah i doesn't show that for the iPad.

[edit] going to pandora just brings up the "download app" screen.
clicking the genre link i posted earlier just opens the app to the search field. [/edit]

Never realized that the iPad app is stripped down. Compared it to my iPhone and discovered that you can't view your bookmarks on an iPad either. You can bookmark a song, but that's it.

reply to Clutch_Head
well it's confirmed that you can't browse the many genre stations on the iPad.

"Hi ****, Thanks for writing. You won't be able to get to the genre web page from the iPad, as you will be redirected to the app.
You would need to go to a computer first, add the desired genre station and then that station would be available to listen to on the iPad.

Hope this helps!
