My understanding is iTunes radio is Pandora, not Spotify. Big difference. One is Internet radio, the other a true music subscription service.

They've got iTunes Match and iTunes radio, which are both similar to but just slightly to either side of Spotify.

I use iTunes Match and iTunes radio, and still use Spotify to be able to search and play any song I want without having to buy it.

I'd say more than slightly. Spotify's main draw is that you can search for the song you want to listen to, and you can hear that song.

iTunes match works off your own personal collection, and Radio is just like Pandora. Neither allows you to look for things you don't own and listen to them.
