This is a tougher choice than it seems for me. I use several services, with each having their own strengths and weaknesses for my use. I've loved Pandora, using it since it first became available. But for some reason, they always seem to stick in some out of place piano bar music, completely out of the blue, after playing a great set of songs that match my criteria. I give the song a thumbs down, and up pops another piano bar tune. This happens for 3-4 tracks in a row before it gets back to what I expected. Very odd, and sometimes very annoying. I also love Rhapsody, for it's ability to find and play almost anything I, or my guests can think of. However, I'm not a big fan of their channels, as they seem limited for a service with so much music to choose from. Live365 and RadioTime are good. I listen to these services to find specific stations, but typically the audio quality is not great for the stations I listen too. Radio quality audio, usually worse than FM, but better than AM. My favorite service for just sitting and having a virtual DJ play music for me is definitely Slacker. The mix of popular and unique/obscure (but good and well placed in the mix) tracks, along with good quality sound. The ability to add to the stations, kind of like Pandora is very nice. So my vote is to all services for offering more choices than we've ever had in the past. But if I had to vote for just one, Slacker is the one I listen to the most. -- PRGeno ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PRGeno's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48442 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
