Spotify Im happily with... Pandora is pretty bad anyways but nothing close to the shvt show and waste of 25$ called Match from Appl$
Completely reasonable pricing.
So im paying for something and I can't listen to it unlimited... Looks like i'm not going to reup my payment.
Blame this on politics.
Regular, terrestrial radio (like what you listen to in your car) pays NOTHING for royalties to play the music you hear.
But for some asinine reason, Internet radio is required to pay substantial royalty fees that's why Pandora is the most successful out of all of 'em, because no one else could afford it. When Pandora lobbied to Congress to try and get the same opportunities as terrestrial radio, their efforts were torn apart. Lawmakers actually suggested increasing the amount Pandora has to pay.
Absolutely ridiculous.

Someone explain to me why the rise in royalty rates only apply to mobile users and not to desktop users....
Won't affect me, because I moved over to Spotify.

Ziggy... try this... Google "do radio stations pay for the music they play".
"The change was made in response to a rise in the royalty rates that the company must pay to record companies."
"Desktop users can continue to listen to unlimited music."

Something needs to scare XM and Sirius for their horrible 50 kbps sound quality. They need to get rid of channels and up the bitrate for better sound quality.
Oh, the horror of it all! ... The people in North Korea don't know how bad we have it here in the free world.
