Spotify or Pandora

Pandora has been around for a long time and has made a name for itself by emulating radio stations. In recent years, Spotify has exploded not only as a popular music listening platform, but also as a top music discovery service. In my opinion, Spotify has won this Spotify vs Pandora race. For the same pricing, Spotify gives you better audio quality, social features, underground music and music discovery options such as Discover Weekly.

Here's a suggested way for you to download Spotify music without a subscription. You can use AudFree Spotify Downloader to export Spotify songs to your local computer as MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC files. This way you can download, back up and transfer Spotify music for better enjoyment.

Spotify has a larger library size compared to Pandora (70 million songs vs. 50 million songs). So my pick will be Spotify.

Yet Spotify has a DRM-restriction even you have subscribed for Premium, so I recommend using a Spotify Music Converter to save the songs to MP3 for local listening.

you can download music direct to your computer if you have two machines. You need the download source streaming the music - take that feed and input it to your other computer thru recording software. Voila you are good to go.
