Any music streaming app from major streaming service at all for WM?

I'm trying to wring out every last bit of use out of my WM cell phone.
One area that's really lacking is apps for major streaming music services, such as Pandora, Rdio, Rhapsody, Spotify, Grooveshar, etc.
Some (not all) of them can be accessed through the web browser, but it's not fun.

Is there any decent music streaming service with native / 3rd party app for WM at all?

Check and see if there is a version of Slacker for your phone.

Yes, it works! This is super!
Although it's not music on demand, I can live with that.

Thanks!

I've done some research on that too, and it looks like Pandora for TP2 is crippled at best with small menus only useable with stylus. Besides, I think you can only get up to 64kbps with Pandora on TP2.

For now, I think I'll go with Slacker. I've been trying it for the last few hours, and it's a very cool streaming service.

I never had a problem using my fingers, but glad you found a solution.

I'm just adding to the thread for the posterity's sake.

It looks like Spotify, arguable the most popular music streaming service today, has a WM app as well. It requires their $9.99/month premium service to use their WM app, but it's one more music streaming service available on the orphaned OS.
