It should be noted that the "music DNA" has no relationship to the acoustic fingerprints used to identify a song (see acoustic fingerprint). Pandora uses its history of billions of thumbs up and down in combination with the music DNA to recommend songs. It is a musicological study analyzing 400 attributes of a song, including melody, harmony, the singer's voice and instruments. The heart of Pandora is the Music Genome Project that was started in 2000 by Will Glaser, Jon Kraft and Tim Westergren. Songs can be heard on the computer or a mobile device. The more songs listened to and voted on, the more Pandora fine tunes the station to the user's music preferences. (Pandora lets users create their own personalized radio stations by selecting a favorite artist and voting thumbs up or down on each song that is delivered.

Lee Lehman sees the effect of Pandora as twofold: “to stir a person into doing something, and to produce unintended options of the person.” Jacob Schwartz gives this asteroid’s significance as “encountering unanticipated ramifications and options of a larger process, caught off-guard, curiosity initiating change.” Sources: George and Bloch give Pandora’s principle as “curiosity that initiates change.” Zipporah Dobyns also associates Pandora with curiosity and has found it prominent in the charts of many astrologers. Unlike the planets, which are associated with a wide range of phenomena, the smaller asteroids are said to represent a single principle. Preliminary material on Pandora can be found in Demetra George and Douglas Bloch’s Astrology for Yourself, and an ephemeris (table of celestial locations) for Pandora can be found in the second edition of George and Bloch’s Asteroid Goddesses.
