My brother-in-law Charles Talbot, asked me where I would look for new music.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here was my response<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I would start with the free Pandora. \u00a0We had the premium service for three years before Amanda wanted to move to Rhapsody.<\/div>\n

Pandora, Free-Ad supported\/ Premium 36 dollar a year(last time I checked)<\/p>\n

Pros – Cool because you can share the Premium with everyone in your family<\/div>\n
Lots of choices<\/div>\n
Create your own channels<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cons –<\/div>\n
Only about 100 songs in each channel<\/div>\n
Can’t choose specific songs to listen too.<\/div>\n
Can’t listen offline<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are two paid services worth checking into. Spotify and Rhapsody<\/div>\n
I am paying for Rhapsody @$15 a month. \u00a0(it would cost me $30 for spotify) (they are both $10 a month for one device)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rhapsody::<\/div>\n
Pro’s<\/div>\n
They allow three mobile devices to be playing music at the same time. (This is why I have this service)<\/div>\n
\n
Create your own playlists.<\/div>\n
Listen to what ever you want when ever you want.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
download music to your device to listen offline.<\/div>\n
Playlists with the most popular music.<\/div>\n
Create your own listening Channel<\/div>\n
Good variety of prebuilt channels.<\/div>\n
Listen through the browser on as many PC’s as you want.(Share with lots of people)<\/div>\n
192K for listening(I don’t know this about Spotify<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cons,<\/div>\n
Hard to discover new obscure music, but there lots on there<\/div>\n
Occasionally, brand new music and old music is not available. In the last three years(Coldplay’s last two albums and Taylor Swifts Red are the only three albums I know of that took a couple of months to finally get on Rhapsody)<\/div>\n
Occasionally, on my phone, it forces me to reconnect to the server with a message “Somewhere your account is playing, please login again”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Spotify::I liked this a lot better than Rhapsody a couple of years ago, but I chose Rhapsody because it was cheaper to share with my family<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pro’s<\/div>\n
Free Version-Ad supported (This is new, since last checked)<\/div>\n
It’s easier to discover new music<\/div>\n
Listen to any song when you want to.<\/div>\n
Play lists.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Con’s<\/div>\n
$10 for each device<\/div>\n
Only listen on one device at a time.<\/div>\n
Free version forces ads and occasionally throws music in there I don’t like.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I downloaded this today and am going to try out the free version, just for something different.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I might think of switching if they had a family plan.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are lots of other music services.<\/div>\n
Grooveshark has the coolest names but quality of music and selection is more limited. \u00a0I payed for this service for a year because I got a t-shirt with the subscription.<\/div>\n
Soundcloud – Dennis uses this to find good really obscure music.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
googlemusic ( tried this a year or so ago not that great)<\/div>\n
Itunes has a radio option, but I’ve only tried it for about 10 minutes, maybe 6 months ago.<\/div>\n
