    I don’t use any of those. Where is Shoutcast, or even Jelli.net?

    Grooveshark is a fabulous service – being able listen to entire albums at a time, and not being restricted by what country you live in really puts it at the top of my list.

    But for discovering new music, TheSixtyOne has always been my favourite.

    Pandora for me all the way. aupeo.com and we7.com are also worth a look. Don’t know it its available everywhere, but german users should check out spotify-clone simfy.de.

    I use both Grooveshark and Pandora, but Grooveshark just has so many more options that Pandora can’t compare. Even when I’m listening to Pandora, if I bookmark a song it’s just so I can listen to it on Grooveshark later, as Pandora doesn’t allow replays. Pandora is more spot on with their radio selections but Grooveshark’s radio isn’t bad either. GS includes libraries, favorites, playlists, uploads, and no ads between songs playing. What more could you ask for?

      I agree Slacker is way better than Pandora, I currently have Slacker Radio Plus and I can skip as many songs I want unlike Pandora One and they basically the same thing when it comes to music library/recomendations.

        Slacker is okay for streaming.

        But they have too many content restrictions if you are using their cached product a caching device, such as a Slacker Portable Radio or one of the Sony units.

    GrooveShark hands down, but my close second is

    Was raised on and lived on good old classic rock, but listening to the ClassicRock stations at MMStream has broadened my music-ability……so many imports of a classic rock genre. Try it, so easy.
