What is your preffered internet music outlet? Pandora? Spotify? Itunes? Youtube? Im looking around and comparing different services and just looking to get some opinions.

Yes, because it's 1993 (clams' best year ever)

if you can get additional utility out of Amazon Prime (free 2 day shipping, video, kindle lending library) it's not too bad.

Yup, I've basically given up searching new tunes and just pick and choose from michcat recomendos. I sample most of the stuff posted on gE but Rusty really does have good music sensibilities.

I like spotify but it's not the best for music discovery. I feel like the problem is you get no ratings or feedback when looking through playlists, so you just see lines and lines of artists and songs you don't know.

You can do spotify radio, which is essentially the same thing as pandora. I like Plug because if you pick a good room, it can expose you to a type of music you'd like, without it being TOO pigeonholed, a problem that exists with pandora/spotify radio.

Pandora only still exists because it was the first in the game, and it's the only thing old people are familiar with.

I have put too much time and emotion into my Pandora stations to give up now. I'm in for the long haul.

Same me and spotty. Feel like if I put effort into YouTube playlists, streamus (great extension) or soundcloud, I'd find a lot more music. A lot of remixes aren't on spotify.

They also lack most rap mixtapes.

99% of remixes make me barf out. a possible exception is tasteful mashups, but i would personally say that mashups and remixes are different.

hopefully KSU never plays a remix in a bathroom, they have already suffered enough

chum1 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 06, 2015, 08:51:50 AM »

I've found lots of remixes on Soundcloud that I like way better than originals. I'm not talking about the rando amateur ones, but remixes done by professionals.

mocat · « **Reply #22 on:** March 06, 2015, 08:59:58 AM »

i eat up any remix that RAC does. to quote jtksu, "Dude is talented as hell"

I still Pandora at the gym. That's about the only time I listen to music. Well that, and the shower, but I'm mostly listening to sports talk then.

Pandora is also integrated into cars, tvs and other home theater components much more than spotify. The two components I own with Spotify apps (roku and onkyo avr) require a premium membership to use it.
