Technology has made media consumption fairly convenient. Music has benefited from the growth and listeners from all walks of life can hear what they want, when they want and where they want. These new music platforms have also become multifaceted. You can find new music, share music, create your own music; the list goes on. But with anything, there are many pros and cons. The end that is greater than the other will determine the amount of users on a particular website.

Last.fm is another great site I use to find music. It is effective in helping you listen to the particular song of choice. If you search an artist, their albums are recommended as well as songs. With this design, you don't have to sit through songs you don't want to listen to or prefer not to. You do not have to skip through songs and worry about going over the limit. The site is very easy to use and it is easy to navigate. Unlike other music playlist sites, Last.fm is socially interactive with its users. You can see which user is listening to what. I cannot find a particular con about the website. With that being said, I would highly recommend this site to friends.

8tracks is a great website if you are looking for a genre playlist. If you search for an artist, you can find playlists that already have a predetermined list of songs. It is effective in helping you find a playlist. It offers you a selection of playlists that are titled by moods, phrases, etc. If you are looking for a playlist to set a tone, the unique playlist titles can help guide you to the right list. It is very user friendly; simply search an artist and a list of playlists pop up. The only main con is that you also can't skip past songs. If you are impatient like me, and you are picky with music, this site might test your patience. I would recommend this site to friends, but to a more open-minded group.

Pandora is a helpful music website if you're looking to find new music. You simply search an artist and a playlist is formed based off of the genre of artist you initially chose. You can mold your playlist by liking or disliking the offered music. It is also user friendly. If you want to form another playlist, simply search another artist and a new playlist will form. I have found great artists using this website, making my endeavors effective. The only con regarding Pandora is their skips limit. You cannot skip past more than three songs. So if you dislike the song, you must carry on until it is over. Besides that inconvenience, I would recommend Pandora to my friends.
