MSpot Creates Personalized Streaming Radio Stations Based on Your Music Collection

Lifehacker.com

Android/iPhone/Web: You have a lot of choices for streaming music services these days, but if you'd like something that streams your own music and creates Pandora-like stations based on what you like, MSpot is a great cross platform choice.

We've talked about mSpot before, but services like Amazon Cloud Player and Google Music quickly overshadowed them. Now, however, mSpot has added a feature that makes it stand out from the crowd once again: online radio. MSpot has added quite a few of online radio features, so whether you want to listen to a pre-constructed station or spawn a Pandora-like station right from one of the songs in your library, it's got you covered. You can choose from a long list of radio stations or get one recommended to you based on the music you've been listening to from your own library. It's great for situations where you want to listen to new music quick—just long-press on any song in your library and hit Create a Radio Station—you'll be discovering new music in no time.

MSpot also has 5 GB of free online storage for your music, as well as the ability to download or stream that music to your favorite mobile device. Plus, it's available on the iPhone, which gives it a leg up against Amazon and Google Music (seriously, what the heck, Amazon?). Plus, it has live lyrics and playlist syncing, which haven't yet come to a lot of the popular cloud players out there. Despite its lack of a big company like Amazon, Google, or Apple behind it, its still a worthy competitor in the cloud music space. Hit the link to check out the newest version of the app.

MSpot is a free download for iPhone and Android, and can sync music to the web player from Windows and Mac OS X. You get 5 GB free, but can pay for extra space.
