Pandora rocks why?

[pandorarocks730]

Pandora is a mess. I've disliked it since it was a beta on music.com in 2005.

Really why is that? Slacker is ok I like it better than Iheartradio,tunein and radio.com rock stations without swearing on it

It's just not something I enjoy. It either plays songs I've heard entirely too much or just dislike. I need to experiment with it more before I make my decision on it. It's an immensely popular service, and a great website, just not my thing. (I've been using Rdio.com, not radio.com - Rdio is a service that you can create a playlist) I can go give it another shot though.

I did have rdio.com in the beginning it's ok. Does it cost to have one channel of all the rock/alternative?

No, it's free - if that's what you're asking.

I just opened the app and my free trail is over does that mean it's not?

Rdio is free, but free access might be restricted to desktop only.

I have never used the radio/channel feature on rdio, but I hear it is better than the ones made by Mog, Rhapsody, Spotify.

 I tried Pandora here at work for a couple days and ended up going back to the radio. I'd hear many of the same songs and same artists if I created a station, and then they liked to dump in those little "announcements" every so often. The main reason I wanted internet based radio was for the lack of advertising. Then it would just stop playing after a period and the screen on my laptop had a message about not wanting to play to an empty room, or something of the like.

 Now, I have over 4,500 songs digitized and on an external hard drive. I can load that into Winamp and hit shuffle and never hear the same songs over again.

Is winamp a app?  Also don't like rdio.com setup!

Also I don't have facebook so spotify and whatever else. I like pandora the best cause of the quickmix feature, I like slacker second then RADITAZ third. But for sports and sports talk I use tunein,Iheartradio and radio.com which is cool!

Winamp is an app for mobile devices as well as a full featured application for windows. It works well, but AOL is letting it die a slow and painful death.

Also I don't have facebook so spotify and whatever else. I like pandora the best cause of the quickmix feature, I like slacker second then RADITAZ third. But for sports and sports talk I use tunein,Iheartradio and radio.com which is cool!

I got in to Spotify before the Facebook requirement. Interestingly it was supposed to be limited after 6 months but so far that has not happened. I have been using it since the second day it launched in the USA.

Never heard of raditaz before. I have used nearly every music service so this is a bit surprising. I am testing it out now. Looks interesting, but it seems that the service is unable to decipher the difference between original song versions, remakes, live versions and covers. This is a problem for me.
