One of the unique features the service has launched in the recent years is “Pandora Modes”, which is available for both free and premium users. It gives users the chance for greater customization – they can now choose how they want to listen.
You can select any “mode” your preference which will allow you to have greater control over the kind of music that is being given to you on your music stations.
One of the core modes is “Newly Released” – it allows you to listen to the newest releases from your selected station artist/genre. If you thumbs up the chosen music, your station will offer you more similar music to listen to. This feature allows for more popularity for the artist’s newer music and would be supportive of them. For newer artists this can especially help them grow and produce more music.
