Spotify or Pandora

**Amo** · 12-09-2012, 11:54 PM

I'm trying to decide what is the best music streaming app to purchase. Spotify is pricier but it seems to have me captured right now. I could use some feedback from anyone that has used either of these. Thanks in advance.

I've never used spotify, but if I may make another suggestion, I've been using MOG for awhile now and I'm very satisfied. It's simple, works flawlessly, and you can download songs to your device so you don't have to soak up any data streaming. It's $9.99 a month but definitely worth every penny.

Well, they're really quite different: Spotify let's you play specific songs and albums OR do a random radio stream; with Pandora you cannot choose specific tracks, just the station. How much control do you want?

**JustMe'D** · 12-10-2012, 08:14 AM

I agree with Massie, however, I've used both and only listen to the music based on my selection of artist(s) & songs and I've found that Pandora plays music more in-line with >>my<< preferences than Spotify. That is not to say that Spotify isn't worthwhile because it is nor does everyone feel the same way.

Spotify Premium is worth every cent and you can cancel at any time. my suggestion would be to try it for a month and see for yourself

I used to use Pandora, but have really enjoyed Spotify for the past few months!! I use the free version...

Pandora gives you a free option that doesn't limit you except for ads. Spotify I just started using and actually like a lot so far. It gives you more control and has more variety to choose from.

I don't know if that is available yet. I am able to bill it to my sprint account but couldn't find a way to bill it to iTunes.

I always have used Pandora, really can't think of a reason to stop using it. It has served me well.

**sherlock** · 02-17-2013, 10:11 AM

I've used Pandora and Sirius (paid). Sirius plays random songs based on the particular station your on. Pandora seems to do a pretty good job of feeding you music you'll like asking as you take the time to train it.

Nobody has mentioned Slacker radio? I used to use it and I see they just got a big update and facelift.

i don't think you people understand how Spotify (premium) works

**TorrieB** · 02-17-2013, 11:28 AM

I love Spotify Premium. I choose what songs I want, what playlists I want and what artists I want on demand. I figure
$10/mth is like buying one album a month but I get so much more.

AND Internet radio with Unlimited skips!

**pr1nce** · 03-26-2013, 09:47 PM

I've used Pandora for several years. I like the selection based on my preference of artists and types of music.

**iphonelvr** · 03-26-2013, 10:31 PM

I prefer pandora because of the artist selection that they have and the play music to my liking. I hate that I cant delete a station that I created with spotify

**MRSBROWN2006** · 03-26-2013, 11:13 PM

Definitely spotify. And I used pandora for over five years (since my early blackberry days)! The ten bucks a month is worth it.
