Ads: Pandora radio now using audio ads

More ads galore

Pandora Radio is finally starting to follow through on threats of more ads, push for “premium” service.

Pandora One must not be doing as well as projected as the free version of Pandora Radio is now using more ads, including audio ads. These ads will interrupt the continuous music spread with obnoxious 15 second audio ads. To prevent them from occurring though, Pandora offers a premium version of their service called Pandora One for $36 a year.

Pandora One is not so much of a premium service as much as it is just a way for the company to stay afloat.

Is $36 a year worth it to you all to prevent audio ads, being able to skip songs as much as you’d like and hear more than 40 hours of music a month? With there being so many other competitors it’s hard to say that it will get many sales; however, Play This does feel it is one of the best radios on smartphones at this time.
