In giving this survey to 5 people on my hall I found that, on average, people were quite pleased with the songs and artists that Pandora chose for them to listen to. This is shown by the fact that all average scores given by the participants fall within the 4-5 range on the "likability" scale. This could, however, have something to do with the fact that generally 2 of the songs that Pandora chose for them to listen to were songs actually by the artist that they selected. Many of the other songs also turned out to be songs that the participants already knew, even if they were not written by the artist that they initially chose. That being said, Pandora did manage to pick songs that the participants liked even if they were songs that they already knew. Although there was only one participant who absolutely loved the songs picked by Pandora (shown by their consistent rating of 5), the lowest average was a 4 which shows that while the songs were to their liking, the songs chosen were not necessarily songs they would consistently seek out.
