He should never have labeled it twice to begin with, as if one is assuming that the reader knows what Pandora is (which Rnadall clearly is doing, although one could gather from inference I suppose) then it's fairly safe to say that the reader also knows how it works, and saying that the music it plays and the music you like are the same is redundant.
