Anyone know of a FREE Rhapsody/Pandora alternative

I use 8tracks, which is a online radio app which allows people to submit their own playlist and you can create your own profile or not. If you create a profile, then you can star song, like playlist. It is a multi-platform app, you can use in in your pc/laptop, android, iphone/itouch. When going to the web based version, it gives you youtube/itunes and sometimes soundcloud link. It is a great way to discover new music. The only downside is that you can only skip 2 -3 songs per playlist.

Jango and iHeartRadio.

Edited: as far as I know, Pandora, the two apps I listed above and every other internet based radio mimic real radio by only playing album singles. I've used them all and I don't think I've ever heard a song that isn't a radio single. So if you're looking for entire albums I don't know if anything suggested will satisfy you (I believe it's a legal/piracy issue in which apps like Rhapspdy own certain rights that allow larger song catalogs)

I have the rhapsody subscription but I don't use it on my phone. Instead I use it on my ipod touch :D It's so much better on the ipod app because you can just choose which album/artist/song and simply download it, unlike on android phones, you have to add it to a library or create a playlist for it just to stream it and then you can download it. Also the playback on the rhapsody for android is lame and the volume is louder on the ipod touch app.

So you can download songs you don't own via a Google playstore app and its not piracy?
no it means we dont know if that dev made a deal with the music industry perhaps the ads in the app pays for each song u download theres plenty of ways devs could do things legit without getting any1 in trouble, besides i dont think your that concern about people downloading music lets be real for a sec ;)
