spotify is commercial free on your own network, premium is to use it off network.

so if i didn't need music in my car/ when i ride my bike/ jog, id be using the free version.

but i listen to music everywhere so its worth every penny.

can you create your own playlists with songs you choose with through pandora?

when i last used it you couldn't (its been a while).

yeah i can do that with spotify too, but i can also search out my own songs and create my own play list.

also when i

a song from the radio part of spotify it goes to a "liked from radio playlist. which makes for a really great play list with tons of different genres in it.

SPOTIFY FTW!

k, buy an iMac, and a airport express, download the "remote" app

plug the airport express into the back of your main audio receiver in the house. run speaker wires to garage/ outside, install speakers in those locations.

play your iTunes library and iTunes radio anywhere.

have guest over, give them access to your iTunes library and the remote app acts like a juke box. its the best thing since sliced bread.

yah, i have wifi remote for itunes so i can listen to it in the garage just as long as i have BT connectivity to my boombox. which i will have this week.

i tried my bt speaker a few weeks back and BT streamed well into my garage.

i can control my lenovo and my itunes library from my droid.
