I think it would be accurate to say that Pandora has for the most part abandoned daily and weekly updated playlists. The focus now seems to be on the different stations. Since that is the reality, I think we should work to come up with a list of the best stations based on the following criteria.
1. New songs added frequently and consistently.
2. How quickly new music is added. For example, If a new song is released on Friday, it is added immediately not a week or two later.
3. Variety of music offered, not just the same 50-100 songs
4. Repeats are kept to the minimum.
5. The different modes available for the channel.
6. How well and closely the station stays true to the genre, theme, or mood of the station.
I also think there should be some type of notification sent out when a station has new music added.
So based on the criteria listed , what are the best channels?
