My iPod has been showing signs of dying so I decided to spend the week listening to Pandora. Today, I reached my monthly listening limit. For .99 cents I can continue listening for the month. For $36 I can sign-up as a subscription-based paid user for the whole year.

Will this new paid subscription business plan work for Pandora? They also are currently playing ads between songs too. How close is Pandora or for that matter, Internet radio in jeopardy of going under again?

Pandora, the re-inventors of Internet Radio, have now launched a music video service.  If you are looking to discover new bands, then this series is right up your alley. While the video is playing you can read their artist profile, make comments on the video and flip through more videos.

If you are music buff, then look not further than Pandora’s blog. First of all, if you haven’t tried Pandora, then you’re missing out on technological break-through in music. If you like Tunesmate, Pandora’s free online music service will connect you with new artists and music that are similar to your tastes. In actuality, Pandora is the complete inverse of Tunesmate because we are striving to get you to discover new music you’ve may not necessarily have liked at first.
