    Pandora replacement in Hong Kong? Pandora Unavailable in HK :(

    Dear All:

    I was informed that Pandora is not available in Hong Kong. I use Pandora daily in the US and will spend 5 weeks in Hong Kong shortly. May I ask which service(s) might be a best substitute for Pandora? I'd like, if possible:

    - a web-based music source for my desktop use during the work day

    Mobile phone-based music source is not important for me during this stay in Hong Kong.

    Thanks to all in advance. Much appreciated!

    PS: i searched for a previous, older thread but their suggestions were either no longer in business or not functioning anymore. Thx.

    Thanks, I was looking for another option as well because even with a VPN I couldn't get Pandora to work.

    Along with Spotify, you could use a DNS service for stuff like Pandora. I have listed a few out at browngeek.net.

    I would recommend kkbox, its more apac centric but have a lot of western music especially the mainstream. They offer one month free trail.

    There is an extension for Chrome/Firefox that lets you access Pandora wherever.
