I have been a Rhapsody music fan for the better part of three years. I started using them because they allowed me to download leased music to my MP3 player. I could not buy the music but rather pay a fee and get as much as I could handle. A few months ago I Got a Mac and the main version of Rhapsody I used was not able to work on the make. Apple's little secret, it would interfere with iTunes. So I could no longer download to my sweet 30 gig mp3 player. I then downgraded my subscription and was just able to get streaming songs when I was connected to the web. This is not a big deal since I am rarely without a connection.
Lately I have been wondering why I pay 12.99 a month to listen to music I can get for free other places. And then I found... Pandora! Now I cant download songs to my Mp3 player but I couldn't anyways. It is free, Major Bonus. I can also see what friends are listening to. It not only pulls up artists I like but samples them and finds similar songs or bands. I now can get a custom radio station that plays exactly what I am into at the moment. It gets better. I can tell them what i like and don't and it remembers my preferences narrowing my music choices. WOW!
Get this. Where once I would have to download music and put it on my Mp3 player and drag that around now Pandora is an application for iPhone and other devices. Soon I will not need an extra mp3 player I will just hit my play-list and bamb! Free streaming music! I will not need as big of a hard drive on my mp3 player and I will be able to enjoy awesome free customized music.
It sounds GREAT! So I canceled my subscription and am looking forward to the new journey of music!
LOVE Pandora! I have it on at work quite often!
