available worldwide (as far as I can tell) and features radio stations from all over; unlike Pandora which is unavailable in many countries (including where I live)
FWIW, I use Pandora and it is very similar. This is an obvious advantage, but if you have access to Pandora, I’m not sure which is better.
Back when Pandora first launched and was available in Ireland, I remember that it required you to put in an artist/song you liked and it would seek out similar music based on that artist/song’s features—this approach seems to be slightly different in that you don’t need to know any artists to start off with.
Though, now that I think about it, I’m probably more concerned with musical genre than a lot of casual listeners, and perhaps everyone is not aware of what the genre they are seeking is called. So this may only be of benefit to a minority of people.

I believe Pandora will let you go by genre.
Fair enough, in that case the only real advantage I can see (without first-hand knowledge of Pandora) is availability outside of the US.
