Pandora recently added music from video games by Blizzard Entertainment to its Video Game Music Station. You can now listen to music from World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Star Craft through Pandora for free. You can stream it through a browser or through a mobile Pandora client. It looks like this is available to people who are inside the United
The Lollapalooza music festival has been around for quite some time, originating with Perry Ferrell and Jane's Addiction. The concert series persists, and will take place this weekend in Chicago -- in fact, starting today at 2:30pm CST, taking place from Grant Park and featuring more than 20 artists. The entire festival will be broadcast live on YouTube. The Google-owned
SoundCloud just got a little bit easier to navigate. They have added some new features that people have been asking them for. It's always nice when a company not only listens to feedback from its users but also makes changes in response to requests. SoundCloud released their brand new play controls earlier this week.

Once a pon a time a number of years ago I went through a period of several years where I spent a fair amount of money on compact discs. Those days are long gone and have been for some time.

Pandora is perhaps my favorite music app. In fact, it is the only one I bother subscribing too, paying the small $3.99 per month fee in exchange for unlimited streaming and no ads. This week the company has announced two important new features. One brings customers unreleased music, while the other makes the program more social. The new Premieres channel

The new service lets listeners use tracks on demand to create stations of songs as you listen. The service witll cost $9.99 per month. Early users will get a $7.99 introductory
Twitter Music released today to the general public. I have been playing around with it for the last couple of hours. When you go the website the first thing you will see are the most popular tracks . You can choose from Popular, Emerging, Suggested, Now Playing and Me. How they are curating some of these categories such as Suggested
We have been hearing about a Twitter Music service for the past week, but it has been all rumors so far....until today. Music.twitter.com officially launched this morning. It uses all of the activity on Twitter (such as tweets and general engagement) to identify the most popular tracks and emerging artists and allows you to listen to previews from Apple iTunes.

While it has not been largely publicized, Amazon has a deal going on right now for Android customers and music lovers. The online retail giant is offering a trade-off -- buy an app and get a free song. The deal is not exactly temporary either. It began back on February 13, 2013 and will run through December 31, 2013.
