I stream Pandora from my iPhone5 through Bluetooth.

I'm also grandfathered in with unlimited data with AT&T.

I did not vote because what I use isn't on the poll. I've had XM (big waste of money for me), used the USB stick, streamed Pandora, and now stream iHeart Radio. I prefer iHeart because it does not have commercials (other than the one on startup) like Pandora and you can change to actual radio stations if you don't feel like listening to any of your custom stations.

I use Slacker radio for my listening in the car. Can't beat free.

I did forget iHeart radio didn't I? Also forgot Slacker radio.

I mostly listen to 1310 The Ticket in Dallas but when I do listen to music I do like my 80's, 90's and classic rock along with a variety of other music.

I don't have a huge music library and I get bored of listening to the same stuff. XM offered my 6 months for $25. Is that good?

I use XM, Pandora, DI.fm app, SoundCloud, and iPod...unlimited data from AT&T for $10/month so no need to worry about overages when streaming music

Only the oldest stuff at the beginning of the mp3 craze is ripped that low.
Rest is much higher and quite a few FLACs as well too bad I have to convert them for everything but home.
Cool site though

Iheart Radio

So none of the above.

DuskSS · 07-19-2013, 08:15 AM

but Iheart you are still stuck on listening to what THEY want you to listen to.
instead of being the DJ and listening to what you want to.
Radio sucks.. crappy music and more commercials than music.

You do realize that Unlimited with AT&T is a lie right?
if you use more than 5gigs you get flagged.
they will flat downgrade you into a slower speed and will eventually call you and tell you that you are using too much "unlimited data" if you go over too many times.
and this is on the old "unlimited" grandfathered plans.

Chrisrp454 · 07-19-2013, 10:41 AM

You choose the music by song, band or artist.
Only time I ever get a commercial is when I first log in, now if you choose a station, that is just like am/fm stations.

Hmm...haven't had that happen at all and I've been using it for over a year now on my Android...

Then you aren't using more than that a month.. that simple.

Yes, because you simply monitor my data usage daily

I think XM is ridiculously overpriced. At least for me-- I really only like a couple stations. I do really miss Octane though. :(

If you have unlimited data, use Pandora. The only thing that sucks with that is the limit on skips.

I just hook my iPod up usually. Free and I can skip all I want.
