3.       Please explain why you include a discussion of the pan-audio
entertainment market, which
         includes both online and offline audio and music, when it appears that
substantially all of
         your net revenues are generated from your online audio services. Also,
tell us whether
         you intend to enter the traditional radio market.

7.       We note that your paying user and mobile MAU metrics may significantly
overstate the
         actual number of individual users and do not exclude, for example,
user accounts created
         for specific purposes such as increasing the number of votes for hosts
in various contests.
         Please disclose what steps you are taking, or plan to take, to
calculate more accurately the
         number of unique user accounts.

base and enhancing
         user engagement. Revise to include a table disclosing the number of
active hosts for each
         of the quarters ended from March 31, 2017 through March 31, 2019.
9.       Since virtually all of your revenues are derived from your audio
entertainment platform,
         revise the table on page 85 to present for each period the number of
average audio
         entertainment mobile MAUs.
