@ doublejay1973:

"Many people would be prepared to throw a couple quid at Pandora : it ADDED VALUE to the process of me finding and hearing music from the artist I like (and indeed might like)"

I find it odd that people _say_ they'll pay a couple of quid a month for a service that is no longer available, or doesn't exist.

But when Omnifone launches exactly this kind of discovery service, with access to the global jukebox, people say they won't pay for it at any price!
