If the most important to you is the size of the catalogue, Jiwa announced they have now 6 millions tracks.
Despite this, I prefere Spotify, because the control you have is much greater to what you get with a website like Jiwa.
With Spotify I can:
- enjoy a much better gui
- control it with global keyboard shortcuts (play/pause/next/previous/hide/show)
- scrobble, love and tag tracks on last.fm
- click on an icon next to a last.fm artist/album/track and have it open in Spotify
With Techcrunch censoring the comments, I lost any faith I could have in this website. If they deal with constructive criticism by deleting and filtering the comments, how can they be trusted?
I you want free music, Spotify is great, and integrates well with Last.fm.
However, 3â/month (or $3) isn't much, if you get to listen to the whole Last.fm catalog, refined with recommendations and tags added by the users.
Actually the about page says " We will be offering a section for personal file storage (up to 30 gigs)".
But they don't indicate what interface it will be: web-based? ftp? mapped drive? all of them?

Forced by what? What do you base your judgment on?
Ok, I wouldn't see this because Techcrunch is not worth disabling adblock, but I guess they have graphic ads for Pandora on their site.
Proof?

Some of this requires third-party addons/scripts, check this article for more information: http://www.pansentient.com/2009/02/spotify-resources.html
I find it big. :)
They currently have around 3 million titles (search for year:0-9999), but maybe the artists you like aren't in Spotify's catalog yet.

Since following this story, I haven't seen any signs of last.fm censoring the discussions on their site.
