How long does the free Pandora last?

[vonchowder]

I vaguely remember it lasting until end of this year... but hoping it is longer. Anyone know?

 

[bigboy29]

Yup, few more days, end of this year. Been a good run but its over now.

 

[hopmedic]

Yup - 2013 was the promise.

I thought a year from when Pandora first came out on WP?

 

[hopmedic]

Nope. They said, "Through 2013" and "for the rest of the year."

So what's the difference now that 2014 is here? I've been listening to Pandora for a few hours now and haven't noticed anything different.

 

[hopmedic]

I haven't listened to it today, but I did note yesterday that there were no commercials. That was what I expected to happen starting 1/1. I assume they play commercials on other platforms, right? I've never listened to them anywhere but on the phone.

MetroRadio and wpRadioNet if you don't want ads :smile:

The only thing I've noticed is the 'P' on the live tile looks different. I was thinking that meant I was no longer a premium member or something (however they classify the no-ad service) but I think they have updated their font site-wide. I am not hearing any ads either as of today. Maybe its psychological but seems like stream sound quality is slightly down sometimes, but mostly its still sounding great.
