I've heard about Spotify, but I didn't know they were 320k, that's worth trying if the music choices are as good as Pandora. $10/mo, yeah that's a little steep. But at least there is  substantial SQ improvement at 320.

Spotify has a much deeper catalog. With the free version, you're limited on how much you can stream per day, and you get ads galore. $4.99/mo gets you unlimited streaming... The $9.95/mo gets you the high quality across all devices (PC, iPhone, Sonos, SB, etc)

Thanks Dave. Having a mobile phone to listen to it all the time would make the price easier to swallow.

From Wikipedia, Pandora has 800,000 tracks while Spotify has 15 million tracks. Guess it pays to pay for play, both for quality and in quanity.  :drool:
