Last.fm vs Pandora
ScrambledGregs:
Last.fm is for winners. It's right in the name: it's the last FM you'll ever need.
Peter Harris:
I don't know about the actual radio, but I feel like Pandora has a lot more artists in its database than Last.fm. When I search for artists in Last.fm, I frequently come up empty, while I feel that Pandora knows all my songs. Also, Pandora recognizes a lot of remixes. I listen to a lot of beepboopbeepboop Euro electro pop, so that might have something to do with it.
the-artful-dodger-rodger:
I use both, but I like pandora better.
it would be cool if pandora made a mp3 player, so you could listen too it anywhere, they could call it pandora's box.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor on 14 Mar 2007, 05:12 ---Pandora is hugely flawed. Last.fm can give you decent recommendations based off of any artist, ever. Last time I went on Pandora it suggested that Drowning Pool was similiar to Mayhem, and that Coldplay was similiar to Current 93.
Also, last.fm offers shitloads more stuff than Pandora, vis a vis community features, networking, the artist wikis, the events system and so on and so forth.

See, this is exactly what I am talking about. Pandora is hugely subjective, and all the 'musical genes' used to determine similar artists are really quite relative. Last.fm is also subjective and relative, but less so since similar artists reflect the views of the community. Also, if all you want is internet radio, then don't use either. I barely ever listen to Last.fm radio, but I absolutely love the statistics it provides and the similar artists that it recommends.
BrittanyMarie:
I love my last.fm neighbor radio! I've had to ban certain tracks that I didn't like, but mostly it plays all sorts of stuff that is way awesome.
