We live in a world where we are connected to anything and everything 24/7. We spend much of our time online socializing, learning, working and playing. With so many new sites, apps, widgets, blogs and products it’s hard to keep up with what is best for your life. And what do you tend to do when you are visiting and interacting with all things online? Listening to music. There are several sites that are available to you. With much consideration and research Pandora and Spotify tend to rank highest on the list. Here is some information for you to make your decision on your next music player:
Pandora is great for the writers and number crunchers of the world because of its ease and simple set up. The idea of Pandora is to create ‘stations’ that you like and then listen to songs that are similar to that taste you have selected. For example you create a Frank Sinatra station, Pandora will not only play his songs but artists of the like: Tony Bennett, Michael Buble’ and so on. You have the capability of refining your station by rating songs that play with a thumb up or thumb down. You can also pause and skip to the next song. There are two types of Pandora, the webpage based or the desktop Pandora called Pandora One. Pandora One has a yearly fee at $36 for unlimited usage and free of all ads. Because it is on your desktop, Pandora One has a neat feature of having a small, discrete pop up to notify you of what song is playing. Pandora can play on most devices like your phone and iPad. Sharing capabilities include: Twitter and Facebook.
Spotify is for those control freaks who want to pick each song and artist. Users are able to create different playlists with any amount of songs and different artist. What is great about Spotify is that you can share and exchange playlists with your friends that are also on Spotify. You also have the option for collaborative playlists, where your music selection acts as a team. Friends are able to add or remove songs on that playlists. Your listening capabilities are unlimited and Spotify is a desktop based program but you will hear ads. If you want to upgrade you can pay $9.99 a month for Spotify Premium for no ad interruptions. Spotify is available on most devices like phones and computers. Sharing capabilities include: Twitter, Messenger and Facebook.
So whether you want a more radio-like music host like Pandora or to be your own DJ on Spotify, either one is a great option for your listening pleasure.
