Day 4: Okay, so what about Music?

I've tried a fair amount of these music apps, and I have to say, here's my top five:

5) Rhapsody


Pros: It's a well-designed, streaming music machine.

Cons: You have to pay for service. What do I look like an Iphone user or something?

Final Decision: Unless you're completely by the book... pass.






4) Last.fm 



Pros: It's a personal radio in your pocket.

Cons: A bit more annoying to use than Pandora.

Final Decision: If you want a personalized radio that trains itself to figure out what you want to listen, download Pandora.







3) Pandora




Pros: Quick, easy and many of use it on the computer anyways.

Cons: No offline mode.

Final Decision: If you want something, simple, easy and quick, this is the app for you.







2) Slacker Radio



Pros: Easy to use, great selection (millions of songs), and offline mode.

Cons: Some indie bands may not be found.

Final Decision: Definitely a great app, second best music app. It's free and there's an offline mode, so you can use it in the car when driving.






1) Grooveshark



Pros: My favorite app for music. There's a VIP mode, but the free version is amazing nonetheless. Just sign up for an account, and set up your playlists. It saves it in it's memory for recall and has an offline mode.

Cons: Practically none.

Final Decision: Huge library (including indie bands), quick downloads, and offline mode. The best app available.



If you have the time, try them all. If you don't Grooveshark will meet all of your needs.
