doubleTwist takes on Pandora with Magic Radio subscription service

Remember [doubleTwist](http://www.engadget.com/tag/doubletwist)? (Probably almost as well as you remember India.Arie and Nikka Costa, but more on that later.) The player made a bit of a name for itself in the pre-Play Music days -- based as much on the default Android music app's shortcomings as its own strengths.

The latest offering to bring some much appreciated functionality attached to a rather undesirable price tag is Magic Radio. This is doubleTwist's attempt to take on Pandora with a streaming music discovery service that's supposed to help you find the music "you love." For $4 a month...
