Personally, I'll be sticking with iTunes and iCloud for my music streaming needs, but I'm old school and actually enjoy listening to my local radio. However, Spotify is a great alternative to iTunes and offers features that Apple does not. Will you be jumping ship?
Spotify is available for Free for iPhone and requires a free Spotify account. There are also premium and unlimited accounts available starting at $4.99 per month.

I jumped ship. Love Spotify. I paid the $9.99 to use the offline listening since I spend 1.5 hrs in the subway each day in NYC. I like it so far.
So how do you get an invite or do you have to pay for the services
You need an invite for the free plan. You can simply sign up for one of the two paid ones now.
"I’ll be sticking with iTunes and iCloud for my music streaming needs" - Leanna, I didn't think "streaming" was part of iCloud's features. Am I wrong?
Yep. iTunes does not offer streaming.
I think you need the premium plan @ USD 9.99 for mobile access
Yeah, that's right. The only thing that's free is the desktop version with ads. Desktop without ads is $4.99 and Desktop without ads & mobile access is $9.99.
I wish they'd offer a choice of desktop or mobile for $4.99 instead. I'd rather just have it on my phone not the desktop.
How does this compare to Slacker radio?

Yeah that makes sense - I just don't know if it's fair to call that "streaming." Where as with Spotify you can put together an entire playlist before hand and play it without having to download anything.
Yep. But to hear the on your phone you need the premium plan.
I got 15 invites to give away. Drop an email address here or contact me on twitter @thelinu5
I use both. Is it really obligatory to stop using iTunes if I use Spotify? I don't understand this jumping the ship thing...
