What music service do you use?
THere's so many out there. MySpace has been relaunched as a music service, Pandora is in cars now, Spotify is growing... I still like Shoutcast on WinAMP but it's not going anywhere, except maybe for Chronix radio. So I'm curious what's popular.

I use Pandora at work, and TuneIn on the TV for listening to Irish radio. Traveling in the car I'll use Pandora or some apps of fave stations.

Ditto. I would have never seen myself as someone who would pay for a music subscription service, but I love Spotify. I listen to it all day at work, and in the car from my phone during the commute, and of course at home too mostly from my phone hooked up to speakers. I thought I would have trouble discovering new music, but between the radio feature and playlists that I subscribe to that are updated often, I don't have that problem at all. I probably "discover" new music more regularly now than ever.

^ depends on your phone, honestly.
If you're using an iPhone, it's excellent. My wife uses it all the time.
If Android, you should install the preview version, even though it's kind of buggy. The official app in Google Play is pretty outdated.
If Blackberry, WP7, or other... the apps work. That's about it.

I had Napster on my phone forever, it was a bit pricey, but the shit worked damn well for me. Then last fall, Napster was apparently merged with Rhapsody...and I can tell you, there was a serious quality drop in every single area. Rhapsody is awful, I really need to stop being lazy and switch services.

I use Turntable.fm for music, love the format, found a room that I like, theres always music playing and if I want to hear something specific I can hop up and play it for everybody.

I almost solely use TuneIn for music. Since I use Subsonic to connect to my home mp3 collection, I'm always connected to a huge collection of stuff I know I like. When I just want random music, I'll use TuneIn, and browse through my favorites list, which displays what's on at the time, and pick a station. Paying for music is so 20th century.
