What's a decent music streaming service?
« on: January 22, 2014, 06:19:58 am »

Hey guys,

I've recently begun looking into music streaming services. I used Pandora but it tends to bug out while I'm gaming by either stopping, skipping, or generally not working. I've found that using a desktop application solves almost all these issues (Not to mention my media keys finally being usable!). I would get Pandora One, the premium service, but I'm waaaay too broke for that.

I started using Spotify a little bit but I feel like its music discovery is a little sketchy. I don't have a concrete playlist and I really enjoyed how spot-on Pandora was at predicting music I would like. Should I continue to give Spotify another try or is there another service that's better?

Thanks ahead of time!

iTunes Radio and Songza are pretty good.

I like grooveshark a lot. You can choose and queue up what you want to play.

I love Spotify, a great way to find new music is to look at related artists for bands you REALLY like. Some might be hit or miss, but often I find some gems when looking through related artists.
