The platform

What is Pandora

Pandora is a US-focused streaming and internet-radio service built on the Music Genome Project, which powers its station-based, lean-back listening. It reaches a large American audience and is a meaningful destination for catalogs targeting the US market.

How it works

How limbo/ delivers
to Pandora

You deliver once to limbo/, by API or dashboard, and limbo/ runs the full Pandora supply chain. Metadata is validated before anything ships.

1
Direct + Merlin

limbo/ reaches Pandora through its own direct deals and Merlin Network membership, so you get negotiated access without a re-aggregation layer, and your royalty data stays inside limbo/.

2
DDEX-native pipeline

ERN 4.3 and 3.8.2, selected per platform. Metadata is validated before queueing, so broken submissions fail fast with line-level reasons instead of silent rejections.

3
US reach

Delivered through limbo/'s direct deals and Merlin Network access, with the metadata Pandora's station and genome systems rely on for correct placement.

Why limbo

Why deliver to Pandora
through limbo

Pandora access is one block. limbo/ is modular, independent and founder-owned, so you activate only what you need and your data stays yours.

/
Truly independent

Founder-owned, no major labels, no VCs. Your royalty and catalog data is never shared with the companies you compete with.
