Tadd,
I bounce back and forth from Pandora to Slacker to Last.fm. Each service provides something a little different but none of them are a perfect match for me. My issue becomes repetitive music after extended listening during work hours. While all of them are far better than conventional radio, they become predictable after hours upon hours of listening.

These days I listen to Pandora less and less because of their cutoff of 40 hours of free music. I hit that mark before the work week is up. If they played more variety I would consider paying for a subscription but at this point I’m just better off bouncing around.

I’ll have to check out Groove Shark and see about adding it to my rotation of services.

Thanks for the comment
-Walt

Hey Walt,
I know this is an older post, jus checking out your blog. Have you tried Pandora? The will offer you suggestions and play similar music. And of course my favorite Groove Shark. You can select pretty much any band or song and it will create a playlist for you. Sorry fi this is redundant information.
Peace,
Great site!

Weird thing – I dont hardly listen to ANY music anymore! I cant stand most of the new stuff and rap/hip-hop/dance/whateveryouwanttocallcrap has always been a big ZERO in my book.

I like that old time a rock n roll

I have an iTouch and Blackberry. I also have apps for both, however, I have never tried the Blackberry App. The iPhone app on my iTouch gets used anytime I am working around the house.

I love Slacker. Do you have a Blackberry or iPhone? They have apps for both.
