In any event iHeart is excellent.

Thanks for the info. I don't know what I'm going to do, yet, so what you said should help me.
I highly suspect that Spotify, Pandora,
et al. will bring out a catalog of Prince's works very soon--iHeartRadio just beat them to the punch. So, what would be the point in moving to iHeartRadio, except for getting the fewer ads that you felt iHeartRadio has? I am happy with Spotify (not giddy, but happy. ha), in part because I know how to use it, and I don't really want to deal with the learning curve with a new service unless there is some compelling reason to do so.
BTW--I wonder if the "Plus" account at iHeartRadio has the Prince catalog. iHeartRadio says that the "All Access" plan has "unlimited access to millions of songs," where it doesn't state that about the "Plus" account. That stuff is a little fuzzy to me. Of course, a person's got a free 30 day trial, so if it doesn't have what he/she wants, said person can dump it anytime he/she wants to within the 30 day period. If a person wants to see if Prince is on the "Plus" account level, he/she might have to sign up for the "Plus" trial account, instead of the "All Access" one.
Another question that I couldn't find the answer to . . . . What is the cost of the "Plus" plan and what is the cost of the "All Access" plan? I never did find that anywhere. But if a person signs up for a trial, iHeartRadio surely would let that person know, then.
You may love iHeartRadio, but they don't seem to speak quite as forthrightly as I would like for them to, and they do leave out--or, at least, make hard to find--some information that I would like to have before signing on, even for a trial offer. (Another piece of information that I would have liked to have seen--how easy or difficult it is to cancel the trial membership, should a person decide to do so).
But your recommendation means lots. Thanks, again.
