That stinks. I guess it was only a matter of time before they started doing this though. Still a great site and service though, and I hope that the future state of the ads do not overtake the site.

If they can keep the number of audio ads limited then I really don't mind if they'll insert them between songs. This won't make me avoid Pandora's great service. I have discovered lots of great new music and I will keep on doing this with Pandora.

Every site needs funding from somewhere, and so far Pandora has just limited itself to homepage takeovers, which are pretty unobtrusive...
It depends how many adverts I encounter during a day as to whether it gets annoying

It's called revenue. If a service like Pandora is free the money has to be made somewhere. I think short, infrequent, NPR-style ads is a small price to pay.

Pandora is great, but I don't get to listen very much overall. When I do the web browser is in the background and I rarely see the adds they display. I completely understand the need for the audio adds, and as long as they are limited and not obnoxious I'm happy to hear them.
If you listen more and the ads bother you - sign up for the paid service that is add free.

I'm an avide Pandora listener. They're doing the ad's right, they're not long, they're not over powering and it's not much to pay for using a free kick-ass service. Way better than Yahoo Launch.
