I don't use it often but I told my friend about it and she's obsessed. She created a Regina Spektor-themed station and just listens to that nearly all the time.

I've kinda putzed around with it a couple of times, but that's it. I found I ran into the "skip a lot of stuff" issue, too.

just started using this, and i'm loving it.

i put in a band from each genre i'm into, and so far there's been a decent selection of tunes coming up, as well as some discoveries.

rad.

I love it, but it does get goofy sometimes. I was having a blast the other day with a Doleful Lions/Archers of Loaf/Superchunk station I made.

I've also been using it to dip my toes into jazz.

you get unlimited skips per hour if you subscribe. If you are free, I think you only get 5 skips per hour.

I really don't remember. When I paid up, there was only a 10 hour trial, and then you had to subscribe, so I did. Less than a week later, they changed to the ad supported free version, but they offered to give me two years for the price of one since I had already paid under the old terms. Since it was only $30 or so and they already had the cash, I took the extra year for free.

I don't think it has unlimited skips (or it didn't used to), but if you run out of skips, wait for the song to start, change the station, let that song start, then you can go back to the last station and it will give you a new song rather than picking up where you left off, and it will let you skip after it says you've run out.
