Ideas: Higher Audio Quality

[pboser]

How about higher audio quality?  Amazon has introduced this feature, and others have been ahead of Pandora as well.  It would be great to have the Genome Project advantage with higher audio quality.  Do others agree?

poor management. I can probably promote another service with quality
sound like Tidal.com on here and they'd never know it or care.

the only thing they have going for them is their genome technology
where it is pretty darn accurate in building the stations, which is
the only reason I keep it.

All they've had to do is a high quality open for an extra $9.95/mo
and they'd be the best around.

Bizarre.

I just took a survey regarding their community and told them how dissatisfied I am. I told them that we repeatedly ask about higher sound quality and they don't even respond. I told them that if they have no plans of offering it just say so instead of stringing folks along. That's just shady!

Please increase the sound quality like Apple or Amazon.

Ya I would agree man

This is really surprising and no wonder the music sounds better on every other music provider:

Currently, most in-home devices receive 128k MP3 audio - whether the account is free or paid.

Mobile devices receive a variety of different rates depending on the capability of the device and the network they are on, but never more than 64k AAC+.

On our website, Pandora plays 64k AAC+ for free listeners and 192k for Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium subscribers.

As a reminder, make sure you guys are liking the OP.  Nothing changes unless we make ourselves heard, and that will send a clear message.

[Michael3]

What are you referring to "liking the OP?"

[Adubs]

Clicking the heart on the first post. OP meaning original post or original poster.

LOL, doesn't seem to me that clicking on the heart will make a difference. It would have by now, Not sure why Pandora is ignoring the request for better quality sound. I mean they are charging what other music stream providers are with subpar audio. 

[MarkMusic]

They were bought out by Sirius XM. probably no one over there cares.

Imagine having so much stock market money you could just let your
company go to sh*t?

amazing
