i remember when people started talking about pandora. a few of us said this would happen and got bitched out.

But comon$36 aint that bad. actually if they lowered it to $15 or $20 i doubt you would hear anyone bitch.

I'M a cheap-ass and wouldn't mind paying a buck per month if I used Pandora.

And I thought I was cheap...

$12 a year man, return some pop cans for deposit, mow a neighbors lawn once, donate bodily fluids. All of those would earn you unlimited streaming for a year for 1-2 hours of effort.

i don't know which word applies more: cheapass or douche?

iTunes = $.99 per SONG
Pandora = $.99 unlimited...after giving you a full work week's full of FREE music...

Stop being a f**kin leach and support a kickass service :disgust:. Eat one less McFatass double cheeseburger a month and you'll be fine.

I've tried a bunch of other streaming sites and they suck compared to pandora. I'm getting pandora one for $36/year. It will be cool to have a desktop app and 192kbps stream.

However I will be pissed if work blocks it again.

haha OP is a douche.

I bet OP could find AT LEAST $1 in change in his car. He could probably pay for 1/2 of the yearly charge with the spare change in his car!

It's freaking 99 cents and also it's a good deal for Pandora to since they were going to have to pay all the fees for the last how many years they've been open.
