Last.fm vs. Pandora

I’m sure you’ve heard this one before, which is better?

I guess it depends on what you’re looking for.  Pandora has apps, apps all over the place.  Last.fm has quite a few now too, but none for the Palm webOS, which would make the most sense, since I can Pandora AND do something else (multitasking?) and have been able to for a year.

Pandora has listening limits and for a guy who listens most of the time I’m at my desk at work, I hit them, hard!

Last.fm seems to have the following line of code entered into its music taste selection algorithm “IF likes = music; THEN likes = beatles.”

So my answer to the age old question Last.fm vs. Pandora is BOTH.

I last.fm all day at work, and Pandora on my mobile.

If there was Last.fm for webOS would I be only Last.fm?  Maybe.

If there was no Pandora listening limit (free) would I be only Pandora? Maybe.

There you have it folks, Peanut Butter & Jelly, they’re better together!
