Would you pay $36 a year for internet radio?

What if it promised to deliver music that you liked - all the time? That's the premise behind Pandora, a new application which gives you 10 hours for free to try it. Basically, lots of people who use it give feedback along the lines of their favourite artists and songs which are then collated and suggested to others who like similar music...who in turn give feedback and so on and so on. It costs $36 a year, is completely legal (they do all the right copyright royalty stuff) and will give you the chance to listen to a bunch of music you'd probably never hear otherwise (from all around the world too). Question is - is this worth $36 a year? You're simply listening to music which other people who like the same music as you have suggested. Or is there a way to get around the 10 free hours? (I don't know the answer to that, btw!). Hmmm...I think I'll give it a try - especially since I was listening to the radio today, flicking through 6 stations (Radio Jacaranda, Highveld Stereo, 5fm, Radio Metro, YFM and Classic FM) and there was a shocking selection.
