    Google Music.

    I haven't tried it. But I haven't tried spotify, either.

    Thanks to Geko

    Google music one is good and free for 30 days. Use it all the time at work. Not as good as Spotify but you can use it on more devices at the same time which is a big win for me.

    Not convinced with Grooveshark. I'm looking for a Spotify alternative myself - preferably cheaper, but Grooveshark's not as structured which is a shame. Try to search for an album and you're presented with the songs in the wrong order so your only option is to search through and subscribe to other people's shared playlists for the album and then it's pot luck if they've got all the songs and in the right order so that needs to be checked too against a track list online.. Too much fucking about for an 'on the go' app.
    That said, Chumbawamba's Anarchy from 1994 is on there and missing from Spotify which has always irritated me so I've now got both installed..

    Thanks to Zoots

    I use Deezer, which is similar to Spotify. Mainly because you can get it free with EE

    I like Pandora and Slacker Radio. Make sure you use Hola Unblocker when you access them though.

    Hmmm. That Hola crippled my Chrome. But I'm guessing it's because I'm at work. What exactly does it access?

    Pandora is excellent. Cheers for the Hola Unblocker tip too. I'm using Android and couldn't get the app.
