And ignoring the quality, unless your name is Google, you can't survive on advertising alone. Musicovery was my first love but is now dated, and last.fm is an absolute joke. I've heard a lot of good things about grooveshark recently--I'll check it out.

In the mind of the consumers you became worth your discounted price (say 50 cents), they will never pay full price for you ($1) because you have solidified in their mind your place as a 50 cent product. Pandora was known for free music. Invoking a billed price will only have users flock to another site "Jrea: grooveshark.com" which I'm sure is very eager to take over some pandora traffic.
