I would much rather see a legal way (with permission from the artist) like Pandora.

Ensuring that artists receive both exposure and fair compensation is important to us.
Presto.fm currently uses music content from YouTube, which is licensed under Google's agreements with the major labels and the NMPA, so that artists can receive royalties from the ads included in player.
Many independent artists also upload their own music for free, just as they do with Soundcloud, etc, as they recognise it as a great way to reach new audiences.
