I don't use any of these services, because although I do listen to music
from time to time, I don't listen to it enough to make it worth 10 bucks
a month. If someone had a service that was a couple bucks a month, I
might use thatjust because I don't generally use online feeds all that
often, (maybe 3 or 4 times a month), roughly once a week, and that's
just not worth 10 bucks a month to me, especially considering there's
all kinds of free stuff out there that I can pull down anytime I like.
Admittedly, I don't get to choose what gets played in that case, but
most of the time, when I use these services, I'm not really looking for
specific stuff, just background noise. When I want specific stuff, I'll
listen to my own collection. Nobody is offering a service for 2 or 3
bucks a month, and so I don't use any of them.
However, I do have to say I liked rdio, and did subscribe to that
service for a month, but it just so happened I subscribed just before
they went belly up, so a month is all I could have gotten out of them
anyhow. Kind of sad that, as I really liked their service. When I said
I wanted to hear an artist, I got that artist, and not 50 million other
artists that have no relation whatsoever to the artist I wanted to
hear. I don't know another service that does that. I hear some of the
pay services offer artist only feeds, but they still throw in other
artists from time to time, and that's just not what I'm after. When I
choose to listen to a particular artist, I want just that artist, and
nothing else. If I want random music, then these services are fine, but
I can't see paying for a service that doesn't offer what I want.

I guess the point here is that Pandora are concentrating on quantity
over quality.
I too gladly subscribe to Radiotunes, not just for the quality of
streams but the excellent variety of material available.
The disdavantage of Radiotunes here is that I cannot specifically tell
Radiotunes what I want to hear, I have a few hundred music channels to
select from and that's that, more than enough music.
I am also a subscriber to Spotify and they opffer me - not only high
quality audio streams - but the ability to hear my audio offline.

Interesting, the article shown did not talk about any increase in the
quality of the streams.
I am a paid subscriber to radiotunes and they have a 320K stream.
Cheers

Subject: [Techno-Chat]: Article: Pandora Premium to take on Spotify,
Apple, early next year
The more options out there for music subscription and streaming then
the better I'll be pleased, I like Pandora and Spotify though I've
never gotten into Apple Music, with Pandora and Spotify around I see
little point? <smile>.
