These days when your fa-vorite artist releases a new track or album, you don’t have to take a trip to the store to buy a CD album. Now we have many more op-tions when it comes to buying or streaming music, and it can be difficult to decipher which website is the best.
Some of the most popular apps are: Spotify, Pandora, and iTunes Radio. All of these apps are in the app store, downloadable free of charge.
These apps let listeners en-joy their favorite songs and al-bums for free but are not with-out limitations.
Each have their upsides and their downfalls. Whether it is the amount of skips you have per hour or day or the variety of music playlists available, all these apps have different offers for music listeners.
A benefit to using these apps is that many music artists use them as a platform to re-
lease their brand new singles and albums. In fact, the music
group O n e D i r e c -tion used Spotify for the release of their new-est singles “Home” and “Infinity.”
H o w e v e r Spotify does have a major flaw: some
artists choose not to have their music on Spotify at all. Artists such as Taylor Swift admit that creat-ing songs and albums
is a lot of hard
wor k and prefer
their music be bought
through mediums like iTunes. Unlike music purchased
through iTunes or the Google Play, when using the free ver-sions of these music apps you are restricted to already created playlists or algorithm based mixes. However you can pur-chase a subscription to these various apps, which increases
music quality and give you more options
as a user.T h e s e
d a y s , when
i t
c o m e s to listen-
ing to music there are a lot
of options. Spotify, iTunes Radio, and
Pandora are just three exam-ples that all have quality music selections for you to listen to for free whenever you want. That is, of course, if you have a good Internet connection.

While at first glance this candy filled temptation may be an exciting choice, the overall effect was very fickle. Presentation for this
thick dessert was wonderful, but the whipped topping was distracting and didn’t quite add all that much
to the pie’s flavor. First impressions are clearly important, and the first taste was incredible.
However, as the participants continued to eat, it made them quite sick. This pie was
much too rich, thick, and sweet for their liking, earning the pie a one-star rating.
Nostalgic memories flooded back as the participants chowed down into this Thanks-
giving classic. The plain and simple presenta-tion lacked whipped topping; the overall taste
could have used some whipped topping as well. While the crust could have been cooked a little longer, the thick, fresh
taste of the pumpkin brought back fond memories of Thanksgivings past. This basic, but not to be counted out, pie earned a three-star rating.
This “just like mom used to make,” timeless, traditional treat was a hit with the participants of the pie tasting. Village Inn is highly re-garded for their fruit pies, and this one is no exception. Along with a five-star pre-sentation, the crust, filling, and fresh fruit com-bined effortlessly to bombard the participant with a combination of fruity, flaky, and sweet flavors. The incred-ible presentation and flavor earned this classic a four-star rating.
strawberry-rhubarb pieThis fruity arrangement was an overall favorite with the pie tast-ing participants. The first impression through the pre-sentation seemed to be unprofessional and dent-ed, but it’s what’s on the inside that matters. The flaky, crumbly crust was a tad un-dercooked, but the superb quality and freshness of the filling compensated for it and created a four-star rating.
