That and Songza are great sites if you're not music picky.

We pretty much exhausted every pliable option - there is Deezer but it's not available in USA or Canada yet.[/b

Anyone here try 8Tracks?

http://8tracks.com/

This one, rather than just pulling up individual songs, plays user-uploaded playlists (kinda like Grooveshark in that respect). Many different genres. Like I said, you can't just pull up individual songs, but you can listen to music as a complete set or playlist. I've uploaded quite a few mixes myself.

And yes, they do have Android and IOS apps.

I need to give 8tracks more of a try, but it seems very nice .

I do like the new GUI better than the old one! It makes using the service a lot more enjoyable and looks better. I may have to agree with you after all, but place Slacker in 2nd place (It's been my favorite for a while now).

The new Pandora and the new Jango GUI are major improvements. Now if only Slacker would upgrade theirs.


I tried out iHeart again. I let it play near continuously, whenever I was nearby. 2 Stations. The algorithm proved to be complete crap. I chose country to be the genre, since it is probably one of the easiest to build a station on. Yet one station based on a primarily 90's male artist won't play female artists, and the other station based on Montgomery Gentry only plays two female artists, both of which I hate. How can Clear Channel market a product that is so bad? I am not a major female artist fan, I like a balance. iHeart fails to even remotely produce that. The stations also heavily favor some artists that have little in common with the seed and I can ban them to no end and they still play more songs. And the stations are extremely repetitive. To the point where it is questionable if it is even legal.

My custom channel broke. Seems iHeart doesn't comprehend my thumbs down and thumbs up like I would expect. The station played strictly male artists until I started banning every single song sung by a male artists. I finally forced it to play 2 females artists. But giving their songs a thumbs up surprisingly did not bring more. It just started a trend of serving up really poor quality songs. I wouldn't even call it music. So now, after giving several more songs a thumbs down and having to vote down some songs as many as 5 times, the station finally broke. No more music.  Is the echonest or iHeart at fault? No idea. But this is a garbage service either way.
