In other Internet Music & Digital Content happenings and developments: Pandora (NYSE:
P) released its 10-Q after the market close on Monday. Highlights include: For the three
months ended March 31, 2015, we streamed 5.30 billion hours of radio, and as of March 31,
2015, we had 79.2 million active users during the prior 30-day period. Since we launched
our free, advertising-supported radio service in 2005 our listeners have created over 8
billion stations. At the core of our service is our set of proprietary personalization
technologies, including the Music Genome Project and our playlist generating algorithms.
The Music Genome Project is a database of over 1,000,000 uniquely analyzed songs from over
150,000 artists, spanning over 600 genres and sub-genres, which we develop one song at a
time by evaluating and cataloging each song's particular attributes. When a listener
enters a single song, artist, comedian or genre to start a station, the Pandora service
instantly generates a station that plays music or comedy we think that listener will
enjoy. Based on listener reactions to the recordings we pick, we further tailor the
station to match the listener's preferences. Listeners also have the ability to add
variety to and rename stations, which further allows for the personalization of our
service. Get the full 10Q for Pandora at http://biz.yahoo.com/e/150427/p10-q.html

Sony (NYSE: SNE) boosts earnings forecast over jump in games, music revenue - Sony's
last fiscal year went a little better than expected, thanks to three core segments it
believes will carry it to profitability in the future. Sony has forecast (PDF) a net loss

the company's earlier forecast in February, when it said it would likely post a loss of
170 billion yen ($1.4 billion). Sony said on Wednesday that its improvement is due to a
