Have you actually tried any other music services though? Deezer for example is MUCH higher quality (noticeable even on cheap earbuds or car stereos) vs pandora and has tons of &#x27;Mix&#x27; stations that are genre based, or any artist you choose can have a &#x27;mix&#x27; station that&#x27;s very similar to how Pandora works. I&#x27;m not saying Pandora is bad, but I&#x27;ve used a lot of services and I would put it far from the top. The only reason it&#x27;s so popular in my opinion is because they&#x27;ve been able to exploit the free radio loophole for so long. Now that the rules have changed we&#x27;re going to see a consolidation in the music streaming industry over the next few years; the only unknown is how quickly.
