It’s easier than ever today to for users to enjoy their favorite music anywhere thanks to online streaming services like Pandora and Spotify. Both platforms allow users to stream personalized radio stations anywhere with an internet connection, which can then be played on a variety of devices, like at cabletelevision.net. Whether on your computer, gaming console, have a smart TV, or an internet enabled DVD player, users can have all their favorite music at their command, and best of all, it’s all free.

Both services allow users to build “radio” stations based on their preferences. Users start by selecting a band, song or genre and then Pandora and Spotify suggest similar songs and artists. Users then can “like,” “dislike,” or “skip” songs suggested, all of which contributes to future suggestions the station makes. Both services offer easy to understand interfaces and are surprisingly intuitive suggestions.

As with most online services, both platforms offer free and premium options for users. While the interface and basic functionality of each are similar, premium options do offer reduced advertisements and an increased song selection. There is no limit to usage for either the free or premium services, though Pandora did recently put a limit to use for mobile devices at forty hours per month.

Whether you’re tired of listening to repeats on the radio, can’t afford the cost of CD’s or MP3 downloads, or are just looking for some fresh music, everyone should try a streaming service. Streaming services are a reliable music source whether on the go, at home or having a party. You’ll never have to pay a dime for the music you love, and you’ll never have to listen to a song you don’t like – at least for very long.
