Pandora vs Spotify vs Sirius

I use Spotify for virtually all of my digital music. I had an AUX cord input installed in my car a while back so I use Spotify in the car. The only downside to Spotify, IMO, is that their radio function fricking blows and will repeat songs dozens of times even when you already have them on the playlist from which you made the radio station. In that department they lack terribly behind Pandora. So if you are into random songs on radio, use Pandora, but if you're making playlists, Spotify can't be beat IMO.

If I am trying to find new music I go on Pandora and if there's something I like I just add it on Spotify. Spotify does have a feature called Discover Weekly and it's a playlist that gets updated automatically every week based on your listening habits. This feature actually works great and I have discovered several new songs and artists through this.

With Spotify you can also save songs to your computer or phone and play them anywhere without streaming (i.e. You don't need Internet). Was perfect for my beach trip to Mexico.

I have been paying for Spotify for almost 4 years and I have never regretted it.

Spotify all day.

It's worth it to me to just use Spotify on my phone with some earbuds. Yeah, I'm that guy.

Wife's car stereo has an aux input jack, though.

Sirius for the car, but I rarely listen to music... when I do, its the same stations with the same songs..

I have a Sirius subscription in the car and a Rhapsody subscription I use at the house--mainly for outside.
I use Sirius the most as I drive a good bit. I like it.

Spotify premium all day. You have the ability to listen to album same day it's released, if not within a couple days

^^^...yep. I like that my car system allows me to view what's on other stations before I jump to it--although it causes me to jump around the entire time I am in the car!

Yo tidal is the best

Pandora. I like clicking a station and letting it do its stuff.

I do all of my classical listening on Spotify though

Same here. I love my Sirius but sometimes it gets repetitive. I've had Rhapsody for 6 years and love it. It was Spotify before there was a Spotify. I have so many albums/playlists downloaded to my phone and their radio stations aren't repetitive like Pandora.
