Pandora and LastFM were music sites I never seen or heard of before. Pandora was probably the one I liked the most from both of the sites. The only part I did not really like doing was the part was we had to register before creating a playlist. I have heard and used other sites such as dogpile and myplaylist to create a music list. Pandora allows you to see the different types of genres of music and you can even create your own station which is pretty awesome to me. LastFM was really slow and I think other students and I were having trouble on finding what we wanted to find. For instance it was slow and every time I would put a name of a certain song I wanted to hear it would lead me to another type of band that was almost like the one I wanted to hear first. There were some similarities between Pandora and LastFM. They are both music websites, they both wanted you to register before going onto their websites which was pretty weird to me because like I said I don’t really like signing up for websites if I know I am just going to use the once or twice. The other similarities were that both of them had all types of music they had everything that anyone could listen to. There are other similarities but I can not really think of them so that is my fault. Along with the common things there are differences. One of them that I noticed right away was that LastFm was slower than Pandora. Like I said earlier I was having trouble with it so that wasn’t cool. I did not really get enough information on LastFM so I can’t really say anything about it. Except for the fact it did not get me to where I wanted to get. Every time I would click for a song all it would say was error or something else. I wouldn’t recommend LastFM but I would be sure to use Pandora and recommend it better than the other one. I know I would use Pandora more than once or twice instead of using other sites that I have been using.
