Pandora Weighing Potential Sale
Pandora did not evolve, this is what happens.
Pandora, while in 2000 it was AMAZING - It also had no real competitors.
Over the years, the "radio only" business model, lackluster audio quality, inflexible plans, having 10,000 ads per station, and simply not having the full music library of the others is what's killing them.
For instance, why would i pay Pandora $4/mo when I can pay the SAME thing to slacker and get the same functionality as well as a billion pre-programmed stations that I do not have to "think" - just click and listen. Also, not to mention Slacker's audio quality is much much better than pandora!
