    Right now I am listening to Soma FM (which is a free streaming app) through my XBox One. I have used Spotify and Pandora Premium as well. I once had a subscription to Slacker Radio. So...which do you like the best and/or use the most?

    I can't really stream with any success on my current system so I'm no good for an answer.

    I don't normally try streaming music. I tried Pandora for a little while this morning and it was sketchy.

    I'm on an old, wired, desktop so there's that problem.

    I just use YouTube for music so I can listen to whole albums. I'm thinking of trying their paid service so I can listen ad free though

    Pandora and YouTube. I guess YouTube doesn't quite count as streaming music, exactly, but I use it for music quite a bit.

    I just buy mp3s. I have Pandora, but I use it for jazz or classical. Their rock stations deliver mixed results, such that I feel like I'm not really listening to bands from the same genre. I can't think of an example everyone will agree on. I guess if I wanted to listen to ___ I would have a station for them. Also, I listen to plenty of trance, house, techno, etc. But I'm particular about which song comes next, if that makes any sense. So, the algorithm doesn't do the job I want it to at least some of the time. :) As far as subscriber services, count me out. I don't listen to that much music. And as I mentioned I like electronic music. Amazon has a decent amount of it. I don't know about Spotify or any of the fifteen other services.

    Primarily Youtube but Spotify and Pandora as well.

    I use Alexa at work which I believe uses Amazon music as it's catalogue.

    You ever use Di.fm ? I used to listen to that a fair amount, it was a good source for EDM. I haven't used it in awhile and it looks like they have a subscription mode now, so I don't know if it's worth but a recommendation nonetheless.

    Oh yea. I forgot about that one. Thank you! :)

    it's saying something about "30 minutes". I think there is a limit now. I don't remember that from before, but it was about 15 years ago that I would have encountered di.fm.

    Spotify. Spotify has like hundreds of millions of subscribers but is still turning a loss. I don't know how they can turn that around. They're a very viable company but I think they should take ads to make money. I often wonder how much they pay artists to stream.

    If it streams, we can kill it.
