As I pointed out, Pandora on Squeezenetwork and the iPhone is both ad-free and subscription fee free. These outlets don't create any revenue yet they still have to pay the licensing/royalty fees. Hence, giving something away and getting nothing in return. Remember that the service hasn't had a single profitable year. So it doesn't matter if the fee is 8/100th or 19/100th of a cent per song, without some rain the well is gonna run dry eventually. The fee hike only hastens the process. In all likelihood they have a plan to leverage the market share they're currently building into some sort of positive cash flow. They might be able to pull it off, but they might not. A doubling of expenses certainly cuts the time they have available to figure it out. I am a happy user of the service (even paid the $36 for an annual subscription) and I hope it survives. -- jsprag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jsprag's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14437 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51180 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
