Hi Stormy,
Please accept my apologies for that last email. I read over it a little quickly and didn't realize that you'd already submitted to Pandora.
I looked up your submission and it looks like we decided to pass on your submission.
We see an enormous (and always growing) amount of music, and the task of selecting music is made even harder by the limits on our capacity for adding music. Every song selected is manually analyzed by a trained musician along up to 400 distinct musical attributes, a process that can take anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per song. So, while we feel a great affection and respect for everyone who makes the choice to create music, the reality is that the majority of the music we receive does not get selected.
When it comes to adding new music to our collection, we try to balance a fair, knowledgeable evaluation of the music's value to our collection with what we know and can predict about the interests of our listeners and the current state of Pandora stations. Our evaluation of the quality of the music plays a central role, but we only make a purely aesthetic decision if there is nothing else to go on. In addition to our own evaluation, we consider the level of existing audience, our collection needs and our sense of the impact each song will have on our playlist quality and diversity.
In genres where we already have a large collection to draw upon - most of it by independent, unsigned artists - a submission from an independent artist must be uniquely compelling to be accepted.
Thanks again for submitting your music to Pandora, and please feel free to send future releases to us for consideration.
Cheers,
Ryan
