Music listening bros, do I want Rdio or Spotify premium for my phone?
Talk to me, I can't make my mind up becuase I haven't tried Rdio. Spotify is okay for the phone but suffers with connectivity on 3g.

you like spotify?
i still haven't tried it, but all my friends tell me i'd love it.
regardless, on the phone, i use pandora. for some reason, i find it easier to name an artist or a song i like instead of creating an account which knows all my music.
maybe i have the wrong idea about spotify.

Pandora, in contrast, is highly passive on the listener's part. You can literally type in the name of one artist and Pandora will (with more or less success) create an entire music station for you. Depending on what you are trying to do, that can be all you need.
Try creating "a radio station inspired by the TV show Justified" however, and you will deal with some frustration.
A negative to Pandora is that you can't say, "I really want to listen to Keb Mo's rendition of Fulsom Prison Blues right this second" like you can with Spotify.
That's my understanding, at least. I don't want to spend the time creating a buttload of static playlists, so I opted for Pandora. I have not used Rdio.

I have a spotify subscription. No commercials, but the only way to use it on an iPhone is $10/month.
My office doesn't allow streaming music from our computers, and when I signed up, I had not heard of Grooveshark or Rdio.
Pros:
Listen to full albums.
Create playlists.
Download music to phone when on wifi and listen 'offline' when not on wifi.
Has just about everything
Cons:
Costs money to use on phone

My understanding is that Spotify gives you access to a huge library of full-length songs and allows you to create playlists, share songs and listen to friends' playlists. There is not a lot of song suggestion and what it has requires you to follow up on. It is active on the listener's part.
Pandora, in contrast, is highly passive on the listener's part. You can literally type in the name of one artist and Pandora will (with more or less success) create an entire music station for you. Depending on what you are trying to do, that can be all you need.

for what it's worth, there's not much reason to pay for pandora anymore. install the chrome addon "pandora enhancer" and it's very good even for free. plus you have mobile access. and no more hour limits. you do have skip limits but I rarely hit those.
