Pandora vs Last.FM vs Satellite vs FM Radio

What do you use for listening to semi-random music?

I'm a Pandora person.
I hear of a lot of Last.FM lovers, but unless I'm missing something, the interface on Pandora seems to work better for me...

Hey another Shuffle owner!
Yeah, I use my iPod most, but sometimes I need stuff I don't have in my collection.

well, no, i just use the shuffle feature on my nano. but yeah.

pandora is nice for cleaning my apartment and stuff though. i also like the interface better than last.fm, which seems to be more about the social aspect than pandora.

I used to use Pandora a lot when I worked at WPI. But from what I can tell they've really changed their whole format since then. Now a days I have my server here at home with a couple 100 gigs of music and I can carry my 80gig Ipod around, I don't see myself running out of any music any time soon.

i used last.fm when it first came out but i dont think you could listen to music it was for loging your music, i use pandora almost every night now.

Sirius Satellite Radio is the greatest in my opinion. Great stations with no commercials for the music stations and they do a great job varying the music. Not too many repeats unlike FM. I have used Pandora, it's great but I prefer because I've discovered a lot of bands through it and the dj's actually provide notable news from time to time which is cool.

very happy with the service.
