Online streaming: Pandora vs. Spotify.

Listening to: Pandora online 'Apocalyptica radio'

Pandora is the only online radio service I use on any sort of regular basis. It’s the best legal option we have in the US for listening to music online, I've found. It's very easy to use and free. So there are the occasional ads, whatever. I am also a huge fan of Hulu for tv shows, same idea. 

I've discovered that there is a new service available only in Europe called Spotify, which is very similar to Pandora but way smarter and more awesome. Spotify is a legal peer-to-peer online music streaming service. With Spotify you can create playlists of any songs you want, drag and drop to line them up (just like you do on your iPod or iTunes), hit play, and the music starts immediately (because it’s streaming not downloading).
