present day Techno is a more repttitive form of electronic music, based mainly on a stedy beat (4/4 usually), where the main "interest" in the track are the different sounds or samples used, rather than the melody itself.
Trance is much more melodic and psychedelic, and the track itself "prgresses" through different melodies, ups and downs.
These genres are also characterized by common samples and instruments used. It's obviously hard to describe music through words, so i'm listing under sources a few classic names u can check out and listen to.
Also, the Trance scene is usually characterized as more psychdelic and spiritual, while the Techno scene is charecterized as serious and minimalistic.
There is no "better" genre... it's like asking which's better - rock or pop.
Cheerz :)

From ethnotechno,
"Trance evolved from German Techno, using the rolling bass and sizzling keyboards of techno to give the music a hypnotic flowing effect, yet retaining all the driving, pulsating energy of its true techno roots. Attributes: synth/sample-driving, pounding basslines, complex cyber-sounding keyboards, usually instrumental. 128 to 150 BPM."
"Techno, arguably (along with House) the most prominent and recognizable form of Electronica, grew out of German experimental synth music (Kraftwerk) and early Hip Hop and Electro Funk. Its earliest incarnation was in Detroit with soulful pioneers like Juan Atkins and later Carl Craig. It has gone international, sprouting a huge number of different subgenres. There is some conjecture if techno predated electronica as a used term to define compositions pushed thru a CPU. The accepted umbrella term is electronica."

As for which is better, its all about personal preference.

I like Trance better, it has a little more soothing rythm at times, hence the name Trance, it sort of puts you in a trance.. or at least it has that effect on me lol.
But i'd rock with Techno AND Trance any day of the week :)

I like trance better. Its more smooth and futuristic sounding. Techno just has a same repeating beat that gets anoying after a while. I still listen to both though.
