Hey zing, can you also add songza?

Songza would fall into the "other" category. The four people that use it should click that button. Just sayin.

EDIT!!! I had a bit of brain fart... of course I don't use iTunes. Actually, I use an app on my phones and tablets call "TuneIn" for local and other groovy radio stations.

I've been using [TuneIn] for years as it has my local stations plus other good stations I like. I travel often so listening to the local stations while on another continent helps with home sickness.

That said, lately I've been using the Jazz Radio app for Squeezebox quite a bit.

I've been using Pandora almost exclusively on my phone, but switch to Spotify on my iPad because the Spotify app on the iPad is more "full featured"

I have a Pandora One account that I use while at work because I don't want to have to think about what to listen to. If I want to hear a particular song I'll either youtube it or fire up Spotify. I want to like and use Spotify more but I'm not a huge fan of the app...

sorry t7, i replied on the mobile while heading home from our trip...

i liked songza a lot before it got acquired by microsoft? no commercials, good selections, no ads in em. nowadays it does have it, but not as much as pandora.

i also hit up youtube i f i want one particular song.

I've been on Spotify premium for a year now, and in my opinion it is a game changer. $10 bucks a month and I can't see myself not switching away from that unless someone comes out with something cheaper. The playlists, following people, shared playlists...it's all awesome for my kind of usage.

 

[Huey]

I chose Pandora, but I hardly ever use it, but it's the only one I really use, other than streaming my own music. The Amazon Prime Music app shows some promise as well, just wish I could easily stream it to the squeezebox or Roku.

It appears they're all present and accounted for.

 

[lulimet]

I don't stream music that often but those rare times that I do, it's always my music collection uploaded on the Google cloud. Just hit 'shuffle' in the Google Play music app and I have my very own radio station.

Glad to help out, but there was no vote button for "None."

^ I never use this silly & so irritating slang...but LOL!!!

It won't take my vote for some reason, but if it had...

My vote would go to Spotify as my favorite.

I love that I can listen on demand to something that I don't want to own on CD, but maybe listen to say once every 10 years. Like that time you wanted to hear the theme song to the S Club 7 tv show. And all of their hits. Especially those sung by sweet Hannah, who reminds you a little bit of a younger Baby Spice. Which then makes you wonder if Ginger Spice ever had a solo album. And there it is. It's terrible, but... You nevertheless begin to wonder if Geri Halliwell wants to be your sugar mama. To buy you toys and stuff in exchange for playing with toys and stuff. So... Hopefully, but if not then I (erm, I meant 'you') can still go back to being a thrifty smart shopper by sampling new, unfamiliar music on Spotify in depth before spending your limited funds.

That said...

I also use Pandora (especially if I just want to listen to random genres on shuffle). And I also will stream uploads from my own CD collection on Google Music. Never use iTunes Radio, though I did check it out when it was new.

Pandora and Spotify don't seem to be available in Canada. I stream my own music from the Squeezebox or one of the internet radio stations available on the Squeezebox.
