Spotify or Pandora?

Dear Music Lovers,

Most of you are probably aware that there are two major competing music streaming services out there, Pandora and Spotify. Pandora is cool for discovering new music because they have very smart robot elves in the background learning about what you like and then they recommend songs you may have never heard before by different artists. Fortunately, we have some songs on there so you can try it out:

And then Spotify is cool because they have bazillions of songs in their catalogue that you add to playlists and listen to on demand and share with your friends on Facebook and Twitter etc. If you’re tempted to give Spotify a chance, feel free to add some of our songs to your playlists that you create:

For me it’s not a question of Spotify “or” Pandora, I use both to listen to music because they really are very clever in their own ways. I play Spotify when I want to hear exactly the songs I want to listen to at a given moment, but if I want to sit back and set a mood with perhaps discovering some cool new artists or tunes, then I listen to Pandora.

Enjoy!

PS. There are other differences between the two services such as price, sound quality, use of advertisements, etc., but we figure that they more importantly also share one very very valuable quality in that they both enable you to relax and listen to our music when we’re not around to play it for you ourselves.
