After what feels like an eternity of teases and rumors, Pandora is finally ready to take the wraps off its on-demand streaming service (http://www.pcworld.com/article/3120596/data-center-cloud/pandora-teases-on-demand-music-while-launching-pandora-plus-with-offline-listening.html). On Monday, Pandora revealed Pandora Premium (https://pandora.com/premium).</p><p>
For $10 per month, Premium subscribers get on-demand access to Pandora’s music catalog in addition to its popular radio service. Pandora didn't announce the size or specifics of the new service’s music catalog, however.</p><p>
Premium breaks from Pandora’s roots as an Internet radio service that proved unusually good at matching songs into a continuous playlist thanks to the company’s Music Genome Project (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Genome_Project). Yet Premium will still rely on the MGP technology for some of its features.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3180087/data-center-cloud/pandoras-new-premium-streaming-service-leans-on-personal-playlists-to-compete-with-spotify.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
