Surgo
goes to eleven
Or are there others out there that are better?
I haven't listened to much music in a long time (my collection hasn't expanded since 2006), but now that I sit in front of a computer all day at work it has become important and very helpful.
I remember Pandora from when I worked at NASA because everybody always had it on all day (I don't think last.fm existed back then), so I recently started using it and it's pretty neat -- it's introduced me to a lot of music I had no idea existed just by entering in the few artist names I know and like. There are two things that get me though:
* Only 6 skips per day, I think.
* The subscription service is $36/year -- I wouldn't mind paying $3/month, but it's a one-time yearly charge instead of a monthly charge so I really can't deal with that. Plus that doesn't get rid of the skip/day limit.
So yeah, if you've used them, what are the pros and cons of both? Algorithmically, feature-wise, etc.?
