Get it.

www.spotify.com

Best streaming service I've ever found. Don't know if it has funky algorithm like Pandora but it pulls up the local band that played your senior prom.

Please tell me that I can make a Oompaloompa or Poopaloosa (or whatever-the-fuck that band you like is called) channel.

It doesn't do channels in the way that Pandora does, at least I don't think it does.

I got mine via Klout.com. You sign up and it looks at your twitter, facebook, etc, and then assigns you a score on how much influence you have online. I scored a 38 and most of you probably have larger networks than I do. You can also sign up for one of the premium plans and bypass the invite system.

Ok I'm in love. This is the service I've been waiting for.
For mobile use the price is a little steep for premium (9.99/mth) since I'm already paying for XM streaming but might be something to consider in the future if I get addicted.

And it has both Pomplamoose and The Civil Wars.

Perhaps there can be a peace between us.

Couple thoughts

1. It's pretty awesome. The software works beautifully, quality on the free side is acceptable and the music catalog is pretty darned complete. Tempting to pay up for the premium sub.
2. If you want to just kick back and listen to music though, you need to have built some playlists. One of the biggest things I like about Pandora is missing - "just play music I like."
3. Cheap, for what you get. If you want music on your mobile device it's especially cheap when compared to buying the music.

Haven't looked yet, but I'm wondering if there is any sort of feature to let you dl/import others' playlists. I do know that it integrates somehow with LastFM so maybe that is where the missing playlist functionality is.

I know I am not the music guy you guys are, but one of the things that keeps me using Last FM is the ability to stream to my Xbox

sounds stupid, and probably unrefined to you guys but it works for me

I agree that you are stupid and unrefined.
