I've enjoyed my basic, paid subscription to Pandora for years. I love the wife selection and lack of ads.
I hate the way they repeat the same songs way too often. The result: I grow to loathe those songs and Pandora!
I usually listen via a Bluetooth speaker and often find myself running to find my phone so I can change the music. It becomes like a water torture, annoying, intrusive, and not much I can do about it. I press the thumbs down or forward button often, and it doesn't seem to disuade Pandora from pushing music I don't want to hear so often.I subcribe to lots of artists, stations and playlists, so there is no need for this over repetition.
