How is non-premium different from normal radio?
I think that's the joke
You pay for the data to reach you
radio tries retain listeners and spotify free tries to annoy listeners
Radio does?! Wow, last I had it on the three pop songs on repeat surrounded by an annoying personality and tons of ads gave me the wrong idea.
In theory at least they are motivated to retain listeners.
I think the free version is just what the free pandora was years ago. Maybe I am missing something there.
Pandora had one thing Spotify didn't have though, and that was "bad," but good for me. Pandora could play at a lower bitrate, so I could get it to work without skipping on long drives or in low reception areas easier.
The suggested songs on Pandora are way better than Spotify IMO.
Spotify's web client is garbage too, I used to subscribe but cancelled years ago.
Easier to find the perfect station for you?
Shh don’t question the rage bait you’ll wake the others
