As a long time Pandora user... I never want to select individual songs. I want stations, vibes, playlists, etc.
Spotify has all that. Not "stations" so much.
Type in "sleep mood" and you get playlists with days worth of various calming music.
Workout? What kind do you want? Hard rock, deep bass rap, whatever.
Sounds like I'm cheerleading for Spotify but it really is pretty good these days.
Tons of podcasts, mood collections, etc. I haven't looked up a song or artist they didn't have.
I am a paid user.
(Their point was that Spotify's free version is sufficient because they only want the things mentioned)
