Damn, when I joined way back when, you could pick the track you wanted you just couldn't skip and had to hear ads. Being able to pick a track is the whole reason I moved away from Pandora.

I've recently moved away from Spotify and to Pandora, ironically.

Pandora premium let's you play whichever track you want, they are not longer exclusively stations, but their station algorithm is the reason I decided on them over other spotify alternatives

Right now, it's Qobuz that pays the most, and they also sport lossless audio formats as well. Tidal's still a good pick, as far as music streamers go, though.
