Eden, I use a free app called AccuRadio. It gives you unlimited skips per station/hour, a variety of artists and genres, and so forth. At times songs repeat but this hasn't happened to me that often. It is accessible. Instead of skips, you are offered the opportunity to ban a certain artist or

Hi, I have actually been using Acuradio quite extensively lately. They have just added about fifty holiday stations and not all of them Christmas. They even have a twenties Jazz station which plays a lot of music that is similar to what is heard on Downton Abbey if anyone watches that show. I can

One other thing about AccuRadio that some may like: you can buy the currently playing song through the app. Not a big deal since many apps have this now, but every so often I will hear a song from 20 years ago that I don't have and would love to have. I have done this for several songs. After you

Another thing this app has not done that Pandora does so far anyway is even the paid version of Pandora One had a nasty habit of stopping after a while and sending me Are You Still Listening messages and reminding me that they are paying for the music I listen to and making me click a button

Anytime I feel like I am missing out on satellite radio for the continuous music of any variety, I recall apps like AccuRadio where you get all that streaming for free! And, at least in the case of AccuRadio, virtually commercial free, aside from the thanks for listening messages anyway. Awesome!

Hey Eden, I use Spotify, and have used some of the others as well. Spotify only will show you what they have in their catalog concerning an artist so navigating to that is doable it can just be a little different at first. I've tried Beats, but you have to do the initial set up on the

Great, Christine, is that the IPhone app you are saying is accessible as the computer one is but very clunky in my opinion. Eden On 11/10/2014 8:10 PM, chrissiepoo...@gmail.com wrote: I use rap city and I really like it. It has more songs and Spotify and it's very accessible. Christine
