what's up guys Brian Chong here with cnet.com and one of the best things about music is discovering new artists or new songs so what we wanted to do is show you some of the best music streaming services to help you out now first up if you're talking about simple discovery you've got to go with Pandora this is a service that's available on your desktop tablets or phones and what it allows you to do is enter in whether it's an artist or a genre you like it creates a station and then from there it builds a list of songs that you can listen to now if you're looking for a more robust music service you've got to check out Spotify this is a free desktop application that incorporates your existing music collection and also lets you stream music at the same time it also has these unique social hooks so what you can do is find out music that your friends listen to and then discover music through them this makes it really a big community experience now they also offer an unlimited music experience that costs $4.99 if you don't want to hear any ads at all but then if you want to jump up to the premium version that's $9.99 and it allows you to download your music to your tablet your phones and then take them wherever you go and listen to music offline so you won't need an internet connection and let's throw out one that you probably haven't heard of you guys I know you're tired of hearing the same 10 songs playing over and over on the radio so check out this website it's called beast mode fm and it also works on mobile devices and what they do is they take music that's been published on blogs immediately sucks them into the service and then streams them to you so you can search for new genres and you artists and really this is one of my favorite sites to find new music that I just haven't heard before so there you go we know there's a lot more music services out there like our do and last.fm but those are a few of our favorite picks for cnet.com i'm brian tom
