Pandora/LastFM

Today we were in the computer lab and we had an assignment checking out the different music websites that we can use on a daily bases. We went to Pandora.com which is a music site. We also went to a website called LastFM.com. We went to both of these music sites to see if we preferred one or the other better or if they were both similar in different ways. So what I thought of first when I was on the website Pandora.com, I noticed that I could not look up one song that I wanted, I had to just type n the artist name and see if any of the songs that popped up were any of those that I was looking for in the beginning. Also on Pandora.com They give you like a station with songs that are grouped to the artist that you were looking for, like the site will get all the songs that kind of categorize in the same group that you were looking for with the same artist or genre. Pandora.com also has a limit of songs they layout in front of you on the screen but if you do not want to hear the song you either press fast forward or click the thumbs down button which will never play the song again. But also on Pandora.com, once you fast forward a song and try to go to the next and the next, they will only let you only a certain amount of times and once you use all those times you will have to let the song play that is on. LastFM.com I think is better personally for me because you can look up the exact song that you want and they will give you the list of songs that match that title or songs with similar titles. And also with LastFM.com it is not like Pandora.com where you can only fast forward so many times or you have to pick out what song you like out of the songs they gave you. But other than the differences these two websites have they are a lot alike.
