iTunes Radio (And Others Like It)

[alantig]

Upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7 a week or so ago. Tonight, as I was getting ready to cook dinner, I played around w/iTunes Radio and added a few stations to my list. (I'd actually tried doing it while in my van a few days ago, but couldn't really experiment, what with the driving and all.)

This is pretty cool. I can see why people get hooked on Pandora and Rhapsody and such. Seems like a great way to get introduced to new music.

Far too early to say how relevant its relationships are. I added a Kiss station and got "Love Gun" followed by..."Who Are You"? The Mike Keneally station played a couple artists connected to or similar to MK, but no MK music.

I did have fun listening to the prog metal station. Some tasty stuff popped up. Going to have to play around with this a bit more.

I have six stations set up - the three above, Zappa, Jim Jefferies, and...CARCASS!

Anybody got anything to suggest?

I haven't used it yet. I used to use Pandora at work until the dictatorship cracked down and banned music from the floor.

Try "Slacker". Fewer ads than Pandora.

I have a guilty pleasure of loving 80's hair metal, Motley Crue radio on Pandora is a pretty good one for that. Lots of Van Halen, Ratt, Ozzy, etc.
