Spotify HiFi will offer streaming in lossless CD-quality. Additionally, lossless files tend to take up more storage space or use up more Internet data, so plenty of people find lossy files to be worth their drawbacks.
Luckily, with both Pandora Premium and Spotify Premium, you have unlimited access to download songs for offline listening. Your Pandora Collection organizes your recently played Stations and playlists as if they are a set of records in a jukebox, which looks really nice. It is also easy to navigate My Collection by filtering it by playlists, Stations, artists, albums, songs, podcasts, or everything.
The For You and Search pages are not as attractive, but are still easy to navigate. Plus, the Home and Search pages are intuitive as well. Additionally, one very small but annoying thing I noticed when I switched from an iPhone to an Android phone is that adding a song to your queue on iOS is as simple as swiping it right, but on Android you have to click the three dots next to the song title to add it to your queue.
First and foremost, Pandora is a music discovery service. Its main feature is Stations which function like radio stations, but are customizable to your liking. Spotify is more of a jack-of-all-trades streaming service; though, both do a great job of curating recommended playlists, and make it easy to find new, related content.
At its heart, Pandora is a music discovery service. Pandora algorithmically creates Stations for every artist, song, and genre. Once a Station is made, you can customize it by renaming it and adding other artists and songs to base the algorithm off of. You can also thumbs up or thumbs down songs to control what plays on the Station and to save for on-demand playback later.
You can even save any Station or playlist to My Collection. Each Pandora Station can be adjusted to different modes. Then there is the Crowd Faves mode generates music based on the way you have customized the Station as well as the songs that have been given the thumbs up the most by other users. Then you have the Deep Cuts mode which prioritizes the less popular songs from the artists you have added to the Station. Lastly, the Artist Only mode plays music only from the artists in the Station.
Spotify has a similar functionality to Pandora Stations. Spotify generates Radio for every artist, playlist, and song. Artist and song Radios are static, though, so you cannot customize them through likes or dislikes, but this does mean you can save them to your Spotify library. Playlist Radios, on the other hand, generate new songs as you continue to listen to it and allow you to like or dislike its recommended songs to customize its recommendations.
Every playlist you create on Spotify generates a Radio, and you can customize the Radio by adding songs to the playlist. This does mean, however, that you cannot save a playlist Radio to Your Library. Spotify algorithms help you discover songs based on your music tastes. Spotify knows what you want to discover and has algorithmically designed playlists for almost anything you could wish for. Each week, Spotify churns out a Discover Weekly playlist, designed based on your listening history.
It also makes a weekly Release Radar playlist which features new releases from the artists you follow. While it seems like Spotify can read your mind, Pandora lets you decide what you want to discover by personalizing their algorithms manually. As I previously mentioned, each Station is customizable to your liking based on artists and songs as well as Station modes.
It also recommends Genre Stations based on your listening activity. And, when it comes to recommending songs for your playlists, Spotify gives you a little more freedom in accepting or rejecting its recommendations than Pandora does. Both Pandora and Spotify create great curated playlists.
