Not available for people outside of the US, so non US people won't be able to check it out.

Pandora is US only, and yes I do listen to it from time to time. I started listening to it like a year ago.

I used to listen to it before they put the US restriction on it. It was a great way for me to find new music.

It's okay, we have Spotify. And Spotify is superior, by the way. (And even better, it's not available for the US, ha!)

Apparently it's not available in Canada, like Pandora, so I fail to see how it is superior to Pandora. To me, they are equal.

Music sites just appear to hate Canadians I suppose.

Well,
-You can search for any given song or artist and play any song instantly
-You can create unique playlists where you can put all your favourite songs
-There's a different radio for each genre and it can be set to play music from certain decades, also you can mix and match all you want to create your unique radio. Also each artist has a radio as well that plays similar music to that artist.

Pandora, on the other hand, can't play the exact music you want it to, unless I'm completely mistaken.

So, like a streaming radio version of iTunes then. Sounds cool. If ever they remove the regional restrictions, I'd like to give both of them a try.

Spotify aims to launch in more countries soon, so it'll possibly be in North America soon enough.

Yeah Spotify is cool, but that Jonathon is a **** ******.

I've been using it now. Tal Ormanda told me about that app and I use three stations so far.
Credence Clearwater Revival
Coldplay
Green Day

I like it quite a bit

True, that gets really annoying.. I usually use it if I'm bored of what's in iTunes while doing whatever. It's got a bunch of different options for the stations but I don't really get into them.

Main channels I listen to are AC/DC, Stronger (Kanye West) and Unholy Warcry (weird power metal with weird vocals .. think Dragonforce .. usually just listen for the guitar/symphony elements).
