Grooveshark or Pandora?

Some good things about work is that you'll learn a lot of stuff, from your routine work, to daily issues that needs to be solved, request that needs to be attended, meetings for brainstorming, webcast to listen to. But the best thing about work is learning different websites that offers pleasure while working without violating the company's rules and regulations. One of the sites that we often go to are online radio sites. Two of the best I know and is widely used in the office are Grooveshark and Pandora.

Accessibility
Pandora currently is not allowing visitors from the Philippines or I may say IP addresses that are registered outside of the US territory. Grooveshark on the other hand can be accessed worldwide. While Pandora is the best choice since it is now offering downloads of MP3 musics into your IPod it may not be as widely accessible as Grooveshark.

Pandora
Cost
Both are offered for free but one is more convenient. Grooveshark can be used immediately no sign ups needed while for Pandora you must sign up using your email.

Music and Variety
Both are offering a large collection of different songs from the most recent hits, by genre and to songs per artist or per album. But I believe Grooveshark offers not only english or international songs but may include Tagalog, Japanish, Korean and other local country songs as well on their original language.

Quality
Grooveshark
Both offers high quality music though Grooveshark tends to stop from time to time to buffer but only happens if you have a slow connection. Pandora on the other hand, often have maintenance problems that makes it inaccessible to users at times.

Interface
Groveshark looks less serious than Pandora. Grooveshark also changes wallpaper theme from time to time that's why it's more fun to use.

Overall, both are useful and either one is a good option especially if you wanna work while listening (and singing along as well) to your favorite songs.
