Yeah...really embarrassing when you are rumbling down the road listening to something like Motley Crüe "Kickstart my Heart". Then you pull up to a traffic light, beside a pickup truck and Michael Jackson's 'Billy Jean" comes on.
So, I have my own playlists on my iPhone that I connect to the HD head unit, via Iron Cross Bluetooth.

When MOG shut down a while back, I tried several of the streamers. Tidal, Spotify, Rdio, Slacker, and Google PLay. I thought Tidal was expensive especially considering it's at the time limited playlist. Spotifi had the music but I couldn't get past the cumbersome dashboard and interface. Rdio and Slacker seemed just kinda like FM radio without the commercials and their bitrates were the worst. It's why I left Pandora. I've had Google for a few years now and am still finding gems. Nice streams, seems to lock on easier and quicker, Interface takes some getting used to but so far so good. There is another I listen to in the garage on the Squeezebox called TuneIn I think. Mostly radio stations but some killer stuff like a German station called Rock Anthem. When was the last time you heard Montrose or Uriah Heep over the radio? The box has been on that station for quite a while now. Almost like Pandora only with a better playlist. Much better.
I may take Slacker up on the free trial. Not opposed to moving again since Dre destroyed the best service on the net when he bought MOG and started Beats, which I believe, has become Apple radio.

Music is everywhere ... More sources than one could imagine. I've got OVER 5,000 complete CD's ( in *.mp3 format ) and a total of well over 100,000 songs. I'm still using the HK head so no USB port but I make CD's ( in mp3 format ) with a couple of hundred tunes and rotate discs as the time goes on. Maybe someday I'll get more current with my electronics .... Heck, my phone still "flips" open :>(

If it works for you, stick with it.
After going through CD's/ USB's, I find that Spotify works for me. I can store playlists on my phone and then play them by means of Bluetooth. I have tons of different playlists based on my mood. But the only thing which sucks is, it's a paid subscription. But I'm fine with that.
