This much is true: Pandora is by far the highest paying form of radio in the world and proudly pays both songwriters and performers.

For perspective, to reach the exact same audience, Pandora currently pays over 4.5 times more in total royalties than broadcast radio for the same song. In fact, at only 7% of U.S. radio listening, Pandora pays more in performance royalties than any other form of radio.

I don't think that's true, the singer from Cracker actually shows screenshots of what he got paid Q4/12 just for the song "Low" as the songwriter:

Pandora - $16.89
Sirius XM - $181.00
Terrestrial - $1522.00

It's too bad that Sirius/XM has to pay so much. If weren't for them, I wouldn't have bought as much music as I have.
Because of the choices in my hometown i.e. FM radio, along with what I was seeing on our video music channels, I thought Rock Music had died. I hadn't bought a cd in what seemed like years. Once I got satellite radio though, that changed and I bought more music than I had ever bought before.
I'm not crazy about the compression, but I'll take that over not having anything to listen to.

On topic, I can't get Pandora so I shouldn't really comment on that.

I know that if Pandora had more advertising I'd use it less
