As James pointed out, he paid for the yearly service: “I ponied up my fee this morning.” He bought it, he likes it and he shared that info with the readers.

Sales and editorial are totally walled off here. Sales doesn’t know what we’re writing about (until after it’s written) and we don’t know who will be advertising here (until after we see the ads, the same as you).

Is this an unbiased free review?

I notice your blog is sponsored by many products.

Can some one help me. I am told with the new Livio radio I can purchase a modem so I could listen to the new radio in another room or outside on my deck. Is this correct and what modem, model would I need to buy? I love Pandora and I hope this is true.

Thanks

Does a Pandora One account give higher quality streaming to the Windows Mobile app? I’d really be interested in it then.

Pandora One offers unlimited skips on a daily basis, but you’re still limited to six skips within a given hour. The hourly limit is due to licensing constraints. For me, that’s essentially unlimited because the service is so good at picking music once it gets to know you.

I believe the skip limit is removed in Pandora One.

I’m using Pandora on my Viliv and it would be nice to see the album art full screen.

The free version was great until two days ago – they limited the amount of skips you can make drastically. They will have to add more variety per station and unlimited skips – I would pay $100 dollars a year for that.

However, I do live in the US and found the read very usefull. Trying to please everyone by writing about things that ONLY apply to the world as a whole would limit the discussion to things like air and water.

you win some you lose some (Kind like how every friggen phone worth writing about is always released over seas first… that ticks me off, but its just the way things are.

Look at the screen above Dave and it’s obvious it’s not the same.

Hope it’s better than the bulky Adobe Air client they released last year:

And wonder if the $36 extends to Sonos and Squeezebox devices.

Nope, but why? It’s optimized for the small window.

Jk..Have you found a way to make this app full screen?

Hmmm… I thought Adobe Air apps worked with Linux, too.

I started on Pandora and like it alot, but I also use Slacker and for me anyway, Slacker seems to play a better variety that seems in “tune” (hehe) with what I want to hear.
