Want to listen to classical music but hear ABC News headlines and podcast comedy clips pop in after a few songs? You can do that. Want to hear mostly music or mostly talk? Yeah, you can do that too. YOU control the mix of songs and voices. Broadcast your own voice to your followers, and they'll hear your unique personality right alongside their favorite songs.

On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
