Pandora is a completely different use case. Users do not mind listening to random stuff from a selection of artists in a very controlled experience.

Finally, Pandora is not free if you listen in > 40 hours per month ($36/yr).

I listen to Pandora a lot and I've only hit the 40 hour limit twice, in which case you can also just pay 99 cents. So it's anywhere from $0 to $12 per year, $36 is to get rid of the ads (which aren't too obnoxious either).
