I do. I like Pandora, as it exposes me to new artists I haven't yet known. I like Social Distortion radio pretty well. Do you ever use it?

I don't really see the point of Pandora when Spotify just lets me listen to whatever I want instead of putting up with stuff I don't like. Is there something I'm missing? I've never actually used Pandora

Nope. I go onto Last.FM and type in bands and look for similar artists. Not sure why, but I've found Pandora to be awful.

Pandora is a good way to get introduced to new artists, as well as listen to the artist you want more thoroughly. You kind of have to have an open mind about some of the selections that you don't immediately feel a connection to, though.

Yeah, I might start paying for it though because I can't stand the commercials after every couple songs.

Pandora is ok, but I much prefer Spotify. In fact, after recently discovering Spotify, it's become my primary way to consume music in general.

No. I go to HMV and buy whatever they're guaranteeing at the time.

Although I'll probably get that if it ever goes on super sale again.

I love it, only downside is if you "like" particular songs. For example Let's say you have a Dave Brubeck channel, and they slip in a more R&B or popish type of song, before you know it the channel is playing stuff like Cyndi Lauper :P

It requires less effort than putting together a playlist (let alone one that fits a particular mood in a given moment), and sometimes I get bored of the music I have/want to try new things.

Pandora is amazing for what I want. With Adblock plus and radioenchancer i can listen for hours without lifting a finger.

No. The limited number of skips kills it for me. I can't stand certain bands in the genres I listen to most, so being unable to jump over them when they come up is extremely inconvenient.

It's free with ads but if you choose to pay the monthly fee (I do) you get an ad-free experience and high quality streaming.

Yes. It's fantastic. Put it on when I'm doing chores. I'd use Spotify or Last.fm but there is no Fios app for those I've seen.

Songza >>> Pandora. 

I used to listen to Pandora exclusively but Songza does everything Pandora does better and there are 0 between song ads.  

Can't comment on the other competitors.
