Comparison of Online Music Players: Spotify, Grooveshark, Slacker Radio, and Pandora

www.spotify.com

Spotify is really cool. There are no limited number of skips like with other music players. With Spotify you actually pick each song out not like say Iheart radio or others where it tries to play songs it thinks is similar. For free you can listen on your computer to millions of songs but there are ads. There are two ways to listen for free on the web player or you can download their desktop player. A unlimited account for $4.99 a month you get no ads. A premium account for $9.99 a month you get to listen to music on all your devices like your Iphone with the Spotify app. With a Premium account you can also download music and listen offline with no ads.

Take your music everywhere.

With Spotify you can follow you Facebook friends and see what they are listening to.

 You can also follow bands and listen to any of there songs or CD's. Also it gives you updates on the band.

 Spotify also has a page for apps.

 Has radio stations based on albums and your songs or you can create a new station.

Grooveshark is OK I guess. I like how you can just drag and drop music to the bottom bar to add it to your playlists.

If you are a singer you can upload your songs to Grooveshark to share with everyone.

For free you can listen on Grooveshark.com or on your mobile browser. 
For $9 dollars a month you can get everything. What sucks is the desktop app is not free you have to have one of the other accounts that you have to pay for.

 With a premium account you can even pick a theme.

Also with Grooveshark you can make a live broadcast and everyone that goes to it can listen live.  How cool is that its like having your own real live radio station. You can also chat with listeners and record you voice and you can play it between songs.

www.slacker.com
I like the way Slacker looks.

 Shows all kinds of genres and pictures with them.

 First thing when signing up they are already trying to get you to pay.

Here is the accounts you can get.

Like I said before I really like how this website looks. It even has Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ integration. Slacker also provides information on the artist and their music.

pandora.com
I made a radio station for the Christian band Big Daddy Weave and it was playing other songs by different people.

 I really enjoy how they show the lyrics for the song your listening to.
The other account option is Pandora One. It cost $36 per year wow.

To Download the desktop app you have to have a stupid Pandora One account.
