I am getting really annoyed by the number of ads that I get in Pandora and am considering shelling out $36 for the paid version.

Are there other streaming music iPhone apps that I can review before I make a purchase?

This will be used in USA.


You can download and try Mog and Rdio for two weeks a piece. They both also provide Desktop streaming as well. I've tried both and prefer Mog.


Hands down, I would go with MOG. It's cheap, fast, and compatible on most devices (iOS, Android, web, Roku, Mac, Windows). Option to stream songs for quick listening or download individual songs (64 kbps AAC+ normal or 320 kbps MP3s HQ).

Searchable by track, artist, album with the addition of streaming radio stations similar to what Pandora offers.

I've tried several services over the years, but MOG stands out with their higher accessibility and listening options.


I highly recommend Spotify. The Mac version is free and ad-supported, or you can pay $10/month for ad-free listening, offline mode, iPhone (etc.) support, and a host of other features. There's also Unlimited for a few dollars less, but it does practically nothing but get rid of ads.

Another major bonus over Pandora, MOG, last.fm, etc. is that you can specify what tracks, albums, and artists are played. You can make playlists, share music with friends, or even listen to Pandora-style "similar artists" playlists.


Also, if you've got a large library at home and would like to stream your library to your iOS device, Audiogalaxy is a great free option. It works like a charm and is ad free.

Good luck!
