It really surprises me that Pandora hasn't been able to negotiate dramatically better rates than Spotify et al which allow random-access listening. Pandora is competitive mainly with radio, not music purchases. Spotify competes directly with record sales.
I've been a very loyal paying Pandora customer for a long time, but now that it's up to $5/mo, I'm seriously wondering whether paying just $5/mo more for Spotify would be worth it.
