While waiting for the MyControl features of SiriusXM to make its way to the smartphone, I figured I'd try some of the other services. The free versions, anyway.
I'm no stranger to Slacker. Been one of my options for several years now. Made a dozen or so stations a few years ago. Deep playlists on the Slacker produced stations... a real winner. I like the new interface. Bummer about the sheer volume of commercials on the free service though..
Just tried Pandora for the first time this week. Surprised to find out that is has much more listeners than Slacker. Slacker seems to have more to offer. Playlists seem more repetitive than Slacker's. Nice color interface. Like Slacker, an annoying amount of commercials on the free service.
Been listening to Spotify. The first 48 hour free preview of the Premium Service is awesome. Love the on-demand selection. It's great.
The radio stations, at least the ones I listened too were repetitive. Heard the same song repeated in less than 2 hours of play one station. Unlimited skips is cool.
MOG gave me fits trying to sign up for the free service or preview, whatever, because I'm not on Facebook. Not a big fan of the interface. Haven't listened too much yet, but the on-demand music is cool.
I love Songza. It's got all these creatively themed playlists. It's the kind of thing I do with my own music collection... make interesting and sometimes bizarre collections of song united by a common thread. Also great is that it has no audio ads.
Rhapsody. Got the app. Haven't listened yet.

Well, those are my thoughts...
