Spotify Apps offers several popular apps, including ShareMyPlaylists (SMP), which is now available as an integrated app within Spotify, and TuneWiki, the database of song lyrics that syncs up to the Spotify music in real time. How to use ShareMyPlaylists with Spotify Before it was integrated into Spotify with Spotify Apps. The main difference is that you can use Spotify in it's own program if you download the desktop player. If you use the web player it might be a little bit slower than the desktop app. Click the button of this extension (AHA Music - Song Finder for Browser) on a page with the audio playing and it will identify songs along with YouTube, Spotify and Deezer etc stream links. Identify songs with incredible accuracy and gives all the information you need to find the song again.

Pandora Radio, Spotify, iHeartRadio and Slacker Radio are in a tight race for your music dollar. All have evolved beyond their origins, offering more flexibility and additional features for your listening pleasure. Which to pick? See all four of these online music services compared here.
While Pandora holds the line as a pure music discovery service, our three other contenders offer additional services. For instance, Slacker and iHeartRadio have live-streaming terrestrial radio stations, and Spotify offers an enormous music library and the ability to share playlists.
Pandora has by far the biggest user base (65.6 million), while Slacker trails with only 4 million. But Slacker — which launched a redesign on Wednesday, boasts hand-picked song matches instead of those based on an algorithm. Not to mention it has nearly 10 times the number of songs Pandora has in its library.

Then there's Spotify, eight years younger than Pandora. It has the largest song library of the whole group (20 million) and still brings in an impressive 20 million users.
In the competitive market of online music streaming and discovery apps, which service will win this hotly contested battle? That's hard to say at this point, but the biggest winners in this competition will be music listeners.
Which one is the best? It depends on features what you're looking for, such as custom radio stations, paid tiers and song selection. Take a look at the table below, and you'll get a good idea of what's offered by each service, and then you can compare them directly with each other.
Let us know in the comments which music service you think is the best, and why.
