Has anybody tried Pandora and the other music apps. Is there really any differences? I believe they all have a free version in which you have to listen to an add every now and then. How is that any worse then TV or your local radio stations. I have no clue what Spotify will want to charge me to whack out all the adds but if it's more then 3 or 4 bucks a month, they can keep it. It wouldn't be worth it to me just not to hear an add. opinions please? Regards, Alan Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents?

With iTunes Radio, you need to double tap on the channel you want to start listening to. Just a small thing, but I like this feature in Pandora.

Pandora also integrates nicely into the lock screen and the control Panel, but iTunes Radio does give you the like/dislike button on the lock screen and the Control Panel whereas you have to go to the Pandora app to give a song the thumbs up or thumbs down. On the downside with iTunes Radio, you have to double tap on the like/dislike button before you can select play more like this or never play this track again, whereas Pandora let's you do this right from the Pandora main screen. therefore, it's probably a push unless you're in the lock screen and have a passcode set. I do find the Pandora main screen to be a bit more cluttered, and I do have to wait for VoiceOver to restart after it gets hung up in the middle of the Pandora screen. Other than this, they're pretty comparable from an accessibility stand point. I haven't really compared the music selections much between the two services. The Classic Hard Rock genre on iTunes Radio did seem pretty small to me though, but when I switched to the Classic Rock genre, I was much more satisfied. Pandora seems to do a better job of playing playing more songs I like, but maybe that's because I've been using it longer and it has more data about what I like and don't like. It's also a catch 22 since that also means I hear less new music that I might like, which maybe is why I've been using iTunes Readio a bit more lately. LKike I said below, they're both free and accessible, so give them both a download and a try before deciding if you want to upgrade.

I like Pandora because I can also access it on my systems running Ubuntu, and even though they're both accessible on the iPhone, I find that iTunes Radio has a cleaner and easier to use interface. Plus it's integrated nicely into the lock screen and the Control Panel. They're both free, so it would be easy to try them out and then upgrade to a paid option to get things like fewer commercials, higher quality and cloud storage.

I haven't explored it extensively, but it sure was jarring the first time I tried it on the iPad. Thanks to everybody for your ideas.

The app is accessible, no problems with it so far, and the web site is easy to use as well, when I want to listen to it on my computer. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Teresa Cochran Sent: Friday, December 13, 2013 10:36 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Streaming Music Services Pandora is great on IoS. You can use it for free with commercials, or pay $3.99 a month with no commercials. Rhapsody is pretty good, but it's very limited for free access and only has samples. I have a subscription to it, and they have lots of music in a very broad range. hth, Teresa Slow down; you'll get there faster.On Dec 13, 2013, at 4:22 AM, SSEric <sseri...@gmail.com> wrote: Can anyone compare the various services available the major ones, anyway,interms of accessibility first and then perhaps any pros or cons of each. I guess for purposes of this list, I am mostly asking about accessibility.Onebig question would be is there any difference in level of access for one service's free version compared to the paid; maybe they use different apps or introduce elements that effect access. I am just considering trying out something and then subscribing. So, I am completely ignorant, other than familiarity by mention. Thanks for any pointers to information!
