Spotify (Windows)

Pros: Spotify has an easy to use interface that allows you to listen to specific artists, radio stations based on artisits, and make playlists. Spotify also connects with Facebook to allow the user to share what they are listening to on their profile.

Cons: Spotify's library sometimes comes short when it comes to newer bands or albums. The program also has annoying ads which occur often and are sometimes louder than the song itself. If you pay monthly you won't have to deal with those dreadful ads.

Summary: Spotify is an easy to use program which combines social networking and music. Unlike Pandora, Spotify allows you to not only make a radio station based on an artist, but also to search songs or musicians and make your own playlist. The program is free for basic use. If you can get over the advertisements, I highly recommend Spotify.
