Pandora Radio, the free Internet music service has caved in to market realities. It's begun serving occasional audio ads. Until now Pandora has has primarily used image-based advertising.

Yes, this sucks. I have been using Pandora for a long time and I enjoyed the nice looking beer ads they show. The audio ads have to go or I won't be using it anymore.

I bet adblock pro for firefox is really killing the internet ad market slowly but surely. Now we will continue to see more audio ads and interruptions from ads themselves in that form.

If you ask me ads are the same thing to me as having solicitors knocking on my door.
I enjoy some ads but it's just going to far with the internet audio ads. TV, Internet, radio, Newspapers, buses, railways, airplanes, and all i ever see are ads..ads..ads. You just can't escape them these days!
