We keep talking about music streaming servicesWell, now we are experiencing a revolution in the field of streaming video, but we cannot forget what accessibility to the music catalogs that we have thanks to streaming services is implying. And everything, in a way, has come as a result of the great piracy that the audiovisual industry has had, and consequently, companies that have been put to work to give us convenient access to (almost) all the content we want.

Pandora has just announced that they are making the leap to streaming on demand, your new service premium, all to steal users from Spotify ...
Yes, it is very difficult to compete with Spotify, almost impossible since the arrival of Apple Music, but we have to bear in mind that Pandora has always had its loyal audience thanks to its smart stations that offered the content that users wanted if they had to do great things. So it is quite logical that Pandora wants to offer these users a new business model with which for 9,99 dollars per month, standardized price, cann listen to all the music they want on demand.
