Covers wide array of artists and genres, although the latest releases may some times be delayed in availability
Excellent for finding new music when a new station is created; users cite same songs are played after a station has been created
Simple interface with straightforward controls; lack of control over specific song and number of skips are key limitations
Web, Mobile (Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, Palm Pre, Windows Mobile), Desktop (Paid Only)
Free product is strong; paid product only $36/year, which is lower than most competitors like Spotify and even Grooveshark
Can search and play virtually any song on-demand; some major songs missing but covers exist
Rather poor discovery for such a social service; must enable Facebook to unlock social recommendations and What is New and Top Lists are disappointingly static
Strong desktop client; some non-intuitive design choices hold it back (e.g. some items appear to be clickable when they are not; enabling shuffling and continuous play not immediately apparent)
Desktop, mobile (iPhone, iPod touch, Android, Symbian, Windows, Palm). Note: no web access
Both paid plans (Unlimited, $4.99/mo and Premium, $9.99/mo) are more expensive than competitors (e.g. Pandora) but offer a more seamless experience across your entire music library (i.e. including your local files that you own - which Pandora does not integrate with)
