In spite of 250 years of taxonomic classification and over 1.2 million species already catalogued in a central database, our results suggest that some 86% of existing species on Earth and 91% of species in the ocean still await description.
The new service won't win anyone over on price. Pandora Premium is anchored to the same $9.99 a month price point of Spotify, with 50 million paid accounts, and Apple Music, which topped 20 million premium users late last year.
Pandora is doing away with its $36 yearly subscription, opting for monthly fees that amount to $59.88 a year. Citing higher costs due to royalty fees, Pandora (P) is raising its Pandora One subscription price to $4.99 a month, up $1 from its previous rate. It is also doing away with its $36 annual subscription. The company said the new monthly rate will go into effect in May for newcomers.
