So im paying for something and I can't listen to it unlimited... Looks like i'm not going to reup my payment.
Apple will probably have the streaming service free of charge, because it'll probably going to be part of iCloud, which is free.
So you demand free and unlimited consumption of something and call other people greedy all in the same paragraph.
The music industry has seen its first tentative growth in 14 years. That's not exactly rampant profiteering is it?
Try paying the 99 cents and see if you can still hold your lifestyle together.
You don't get it do you.
Try 99 cents x 12 months.
With that amount, you can pretty much buy lot of food if you know where to look. Food is much more important than music.
Also, stop being childish or leave.
Basing my findings on the ArsTechnica article I linked to.
Pandora is so last year. Spotify and NPR is where it's at.
Something I've always wondered...
Why is mobile listening treated differently than desktop listening? For instance, Spotify free lets you do more listening on a desktop than a phone.
Many YouTube videos, particularly songs, cannot be viewed on mobile devices.
I've always wondered about this; it's the same data, it's the same person seeing the same content, just on a different device. Why differentiate?
[...] Apple's iTunes Store is a testament to this. It rose to popularity in the heyday of music pirating, before anyone was willing to pay of digital tunes. Apple knew that the only thing which supersedes American's cheapness is their laziness.
Not sure why the 40-hour limit is blamed on royalties when they do not impose such a limit when streaming via the web. I don't use Pandora (I prefer Slacker), but just wondering if you can log-in to the full site from your phone, then listen from there -- would that be considered "web-based" and not mobile?
Won't affect me, because I moved over to Spotify.
Cosign. Those rules are outdated.Blame this on politics.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.
40+ hours via mobile is insane. Guess you better have an unlimited data plan. I will maybe listen to 3-4 hours a day at work when we are on a job with limited radio reception or interference. I wish I had unlimited data plan as I would probably listen to it every day.
I'd like to see Netflix add a music service since I already pay for that![]()
jeez sorry didn't read it fully.
And you think that Spotify is going to remain free?
Pandora One is $4 monthly, not $1 monthly. Where is there a service for $12 per year on their website?
Is there a link for the $1 monthly service? I only see the Pandora One. Ads don't bother me and I tend to play Pandora all of the time on my Sonos Player (unless it is considered a desktop since it doesn't move and is a speaker for my iMac).
