Supporting what I believe in. Keep reading…</p> <p>Music… its not about stealing… its not about owning…its really about enjoying. And music is a large part of my life; at work and during play.</p> <p>Well… I have tried mutliple ways to consume it and by far in the last few years Pandora has been my favorite. I may try Last.fm, itunes, rhapsody, etc… but always come back to Pandora.</p> <p>So today…I almost reached my free monthly limit (40 hrs). Instead of paying a single month, I went ahead and decided to speak to the music industry with my pocketbook. Rhapsody is how I want it… and I subscribed to the yearly Pandora One Subscription.</p> <p>By the way… the sound quality is in fact better.. and the new desktop player is great!.
