I've never used Pandora but apparently lots do. Really? End of the line? - Eric Rice from Bookmarklet

I love Pandora. And I would be really really pissed if the recording industry proves itself so small minded that they shut Pandora down. So much so that I would lose any compunctions about pirating music (something I currently don't do). - RudĩϐЯaЯïan

I also wonder if there is any way to track how much money I (and others) have spent on music by bands Pandora introduced me to. It's way more than I used to spend on music - RudĩϐЯaЯïan

The music industry has no idea how to market their wares. And suing its customers doesn't help. - Robert Linthicum

I agree Robert, they really need to get the shift or they'll lose it all. - Leif Hansen

you should try it, pretty nice little service. Find lots of new music I end up....zomg, paying for later - sean percival

i don't like this - .LAG liked that

Note: I love and adore satellite radio, mostly because my music time is in the car - Eric Rice

I've also found lots of great music this way. Discovered artists that it would have been hard to find any other way. I like being able to preview and I'm on of those that loves iTunes for buying music. Pandora and iTunes work nicely together so when I hear something I really like, I can quickly buy it. If Pandora disappeared it would seriously bite. If I didn't like music and desire to listen to it, I'd be considering a boycott. As it is, this will hurt lesser known and newer bands IMO. -

Oh and I realized I had something to plug, that's not like Pandora, but an MP3 blog. I should add a rating system or something. It's mostly hiphop/industrial/world-electronic.. http://kssx.com - Eric Rice

I may not be their target, though. i refuse to buy music from iTunes (DRM hassles over music I own is a game I refuse to engage) and since the Sony rootkit fiasco I also won't buy major labels on disc. I pretty much limit myself to eMusic and CdDBaby. I believe in owning what i pay for, without condition. The digital age changes that not one whit. - RudĩϐЯaЯïan

I would hate to see pandora go. I love it. And this is why I haven't gone on Last.fm, because I don't want to get attached to that as well. You know, Soundexchange says they want more money for the artist but if they keep going forward with their money making plan then they won't get any money because their won't be any internet radio to make money from. - Mathew™ one of a kind

"Net radio is good for musicians like me, and I think most musicians are like me," he said. "The promotion it provides is far more important than the revenue." And therein lies the problem. This nonsense isn't about musicians, it's about the middle men who really REALLY want to be able to line their pockets along the way. Seriously, how annoying and utterly deserving of their coming (I hope) obliteration in the market is the RIAA. - Chieze Okoye

one more nail in the coffin for the RIAA, i hope. goodbye, won't be sad to see you go. i'll give the artist my money instead. - Mike Massey
