It's all about quality, not quantity. I'm surprised to see Apple jumping into social music when there's already services like last.fm which already excel and will be hard to dislodge.
- jstevens85 16y agoAs long as (Long-Term Increased iTunes Store Revenue due to Ping) > (Development and Maintenance Costs of Ping), I can't see why it's surprising. Perhaps you disagree that the above equation will be true for Apple?
- whopa 16y agoA half assed service has the possibility of hurting their brand though, as well as driving people to competitors, e.g. http://twitter.com/garrettdimon/status/22824730445 http://twitter.com/garrettdimon/status/22824730445
- Qz 16y agoYour link just got me on the free trial... gonna try it out on my droid and see if it's better than Pandora, and maybe I'll subscribe. edit: bleh, $5 extra just for mobile? Nevermind.
- whopa 16y agoPersonally, I think the offline play feature makes it worth it. None of the other on-demand services seem to charge any less for mobile either, which makes me think that the labels have put a price floor on mobile access.
- Qz 16y agoOh I did forget about that... although I wish it had some sort of auto playlist feature that mixes in recommended music... basically I want it to be Pandora that lets me sometimes choose songs.
