Pandora vs. Spotify

[scottkoz20]

Ok - As some of you know, I am on the road a bit for my job and I have been a big Pandora user for years. Recently, they added a new function for offline use (great for airplane mode) - however, the "randomization" that is done is not good.

I have thought about trying out Spotify, but I'm not sure on the pros/cons to this.



Any feedback would be awesome

Major difference is that Spotify lets you build playlists of your favorite songs.

Pandora is completely random, i hate that.

I have a free Spotify account and I love it. As the above person mentioned, you can build custom playlists or subscribe/follow pre created playlists with similar songs. It's a great way to discover new music! If you pay their subscription fee, there are no ad's but I can live with a 30 second ad for 30 minutes of ad free music. Give it a try!

EDIT: With the free version, you can skip songs but you can't rewind or select specific songs. It's all a random shuffle.

Also with Spotify they also thow in a "suggested song" every now and then. Too often imo. But mine is also the free edition so I shouldn't complain. I do like building a playlist. Think I've got every KISS song they have on my playlist. Makes for a good night at work. Dont really listen to Pandora much. I do listen to a lot of iHeart radio and like it.
