Anyone know why you can only skip 6 times?

I think it is a licensing thing so they can remain classified as an internet radio service.

Exactly. If you could keep skipping forwever it would be like one of those "all-you-can-listen" type deals, like Napster runs.

Well, like that, but without you paying for it. The record companies don't like that so much.

I'm thinking because it's radio, not an iPod. If you could dial up any song ever made for free, why would people buy CDs and download stuff from iTunes?
