SAAVN	Higher audio quality Great syncing between app and web portal Buffer indicator	Lot more adds in the free version Not a great browse functionality No?International?content No Social integration
Slacker	Great selection of pre defined station based on musical genere You'll hear pretuned mixes of songs in that genre or by that artist, but the station will also play tracks by similar groups.? you'll discover less and recognize more. Next track information	No Mp3 download functionality Sells?ringtone. More adds in free version Buffering time is high
FineTune	Choose one of your?favorite?artists and listen to?radio?station that plays their music Great choice of?favorite?radio station and tunes Popular radio Station Listen pop,rock and many more App is?also?available for iPhone	Bit lesser add but present buffering is bit slow Content is not that huge like pandora Search is slow Over all a ?slow?experience
