11. Last.fm Pros  Like Pandora, fairly hassle free  Provides slideshow accompanying the stream  Pulls from pretty much anything  12 million songs  App for iPhone and Android Cons  Confusing to integrate radio stations (music I don’t own) with my own library (music I do own)  Non effective play-by-demand, no repeat

12. Legality and Distribution  English based. They follow their rules.  No downloading or reproducing  Pay for the music they stream, fund through adds and donations

13. 8tracks Create and share playlists (complete with title and artwork) Search by tag (era, mood, genre, etc.) Can favorite and comment on user playlists All playlists must be at least 8tracks

14. 8tracks Pros  Strong community aspect  Lot of great search possibilities with tags  Organization of your own playlists  App for iPhone and Android Cons  Unless they are your playlists, not play by demand  Restrictive skipping  Cannot see all tracks in a playlist

17. We Are Hunted Pros  Find the popular music of the moment  Provides a graphic interactive interface  You can pick and choose which tracks you want to add to personal playlist  App for iPhone and Android Cons  Very limited music selection  Replication and finding previously found music is difficult

18. Legality and Distribution  We Are Hunted covers itself by providing clear links to where it found its music and the artist and label attached to it  Pulls from all the other music sites and their legal terms of use, claims no liability for their content

19. thesixtyone Presents music uploaded by artists Much like We Are Hunted, tracks popularity Creates playlist by popularity, mood, and personal preference

20. thesixtyone Pros  Incredibly unique interface  Interactive, and at times competitive social atmosphere  Artist uploaded, so there is content here you may not find elsewhere Cons  Relies greatly on continued use  Not an information heavy interface  Difficult to replicate playlists or searches  No mobile app

24. Legality and Distribution  Has been criticized for not paying independent artists fairly  Again pays royalties for all the music they share  Slowly becoming more of a pay service, so this is becoming less of an issue

25. Grooveshark A little bit of everything, Can upload on music to site Create playlists, search and listen to others playlists Find what is popular with friends or entire grooveshark community or use radio stream

26. Grooveshark Pros  Play by demand  Has over 22 million songs, by far the most extensive library  Has the ability to share to most social media sites Cons  Very ad heavy if not using V.I.P.  Searches sometimes get bogged through excessive matches  Down for maintenance frequently  Mobile apps are not reliable

27. Legality and Distribution  The legal but not licensed problem  Gets music from labels, independent artists, and users. The users portion is where it gets shifty.  Currently being sued by EMI Music Publishing, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and Universal Music.
