You may remember that I reviewed the Pandora Radio app for the iPhone a few weeks ago. You may also remember that I loved it. While Pandora has been around for quite some time, this was its first introduction to the iPhone. But as spectacular as Pandora is, they may have to close their doors soon. 

 

The CRB hit the customizable radio station with super high royalty rates and ever since, the company has been struggling to keep afloat. Tim Westergren, the company's founder, has said that Pandora is currently facing a "pull-the-plug" situation, wherein they'll be forced to shut down unless something changes quickly.

Unfortunately, change doesn't seem to be on the horizon. As Pandora keeps spending their money to keep the company running, it looks like the day when their doors will close is swiftly approaching. And I was just getting my custom stations how I wanted them!
