The radio is always great for catching up on the latest sports, news, traffic, and music and with internet being available in more and more places and more and more people carrying around internet devices without built in radios, using the internet for radio is becoming more key. Overall, there are a few services that highlight the pack in terms of the best. Firstly, there is Pandora. Pandora is probably the single-best service for music. It is very smart at detecting trends and will only play music based on what you like. You can like a song and it will play more often, or you can dislike a song, and it won't play as often. The system works very nicely and through it we did manage to discover some new songs. Pandora has free plans, and you can also pay to remove ads. Secondly, there is Sirius. What's great about Sirius is that there is almost something for everybody. They have a lot of channels and the service works really well. In addition, you can subscribe for the satellite service and listen in your car or on a satellite radio receiver. This is a really nice addition, satellite radio service is probably best for people who go on road trips. The only disadvantage to Sirius is the fact that it is quite pricey, however for those who rely on radio, it is definitely worth it. Lastly, there is Slacker Radio, Slacker is nice because they have a better user interface than Pandora. They have some pretty good content, and excellent mobile apps. It works very similarly to Pandora, however their system isn't that great at detecting your music trends as Pandora.
