Android Apps - Best Internet Radio

I've tested Pandora and Slacker on my Droid. Mainly, I stream music at home and on the road. I like the selection of music on both Pandora and Slacker. I'm even willing to pay a monthly fee to get what I want. Here is a quick summary of my likes and dislikes of both:

Pandora Positives: Great sound quality. You get to chose download quality based on available bandwidth (e.g. home wifi vs. in car bad reception area). Able to skip songs. Able to skip songs using bluetooth AVRCP (I have stereo bluetooth in my car, so I can skip songs without touching my phone).

Pandora Bads: You can only skip 6 songs per hour with a daily limit. This even holds if you subscribe. Monthly limit (I think it's 40 hours). Slacker Positives: Good sound quality (not as good as Pandora, but close). You can skip up to 6 tracks per listening session. If you subscribe for $4/month, you have UNLIMITED SKIPS!

Slacker Bads: Cannot skip songs using bluetooth AVRCP. I have to touch my phone to skip tracks. Are there any other music services out there for the Droid where you can skip unlimited number of tracks AND have bluetooth AVRCP controls?

DroidLive is completely different from Pandora and Slacker. DroidLive allows you to listen to actual radio stations around the world. You can't forward or skip tracks. But Pandora and Slacker allow you to create your own stations as it learns what you like and you can skip songs.
