Does anyone know what the sound quality of Pandora's 192kbs (pay) stream is like? Is it noticeably better than the 128kbs (free) stream or not.

That's not much of a bit rate difference, but it might be worth it to not get those darn "are you still listening?" pauses or those ads (which have gotten really annoying since they started).

i maxed out my 40 free hours last week so now i either gotta buy the subscription or make another account. Decisions decisions...

How many of you have the paid Pandora accounts? Is it worth it?

I have a paid account and honestly I don't really notice that much of a difference in sound quality. I really only have it because I hit the 40 hours really quick when I am streaming at work.

I figure that $36/year isn't really that bad at all, especially considering the entertainment that I get from it.

I've also been contemplating getting the pay service. I just ran out of time last week. I think I'm just going to get it and quit second guessing. I am curious to see if the 192kbps is any better.
