No one will pay that. People wouldn’t even pay that for Pandora AND unlimited iTunes subscription.

It’s exactly that easy. It couldn’t be easier. If people like Pandora that much, I’m sure they’d be willing to pay the cost of a cup of coffee to keep it alive.

Also, they could embed ads in their streams, just like in terrestrial radio, but they don’t do that either.

I don’t understand why the management at Pandora is unwilling to make Pandora solvent.

Still only trimming the fat… No one is going out of business yet. Seems most of these layoffs are to cut burn rates…

Who is the first startup that is going to fold?

Agreed. I’m surprised they had that many too. Much love to Pandora. Their service is awesome.

I would pay for it. In fact I would pay for quite a few services that are free. For example one of many peoples favorites is mint.com. After hearing about them in Forbes I checked out the site, signed up, and have been a loyal patron since May. I even wrote the team to tell them not to be afraid to charge for the service in addition to their current model.

I’d be interested to know what everyone else thinks about the trade off between having paying customers and a drop in the total amount of free service users.
