Pid music streaming service recommendation
"Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon Musk -
Spotify seems to be the popular go to. I don't use it that much but has absolutely everything I've ever looked for, including rugby songs. Terrific for nursery rhymes when the baby nieces are around as well. I guess most will have those though. Works really well with Amazon Echo and for playing on the blue tooth in the car. Love the option to play on other devices to scare the crap out the kids and family. Not sure what others do but only one user being able to listen at a time is a bit of a pain.
Got Amazon Prime but never really investigated the options with that but there is films and the delivery options bundled in which might tempt you above the others.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!! -
amazon music is well good. Not much thats not on there to be honest. And you can download it for later.
And use amazon echo.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Try Spotify, free for a month on their homepage. Or check out HUKD and you can usually get a 3 month trial for 99p on there. If you can somehow join from Slovakia (https://www.spotify.com/sk/premium/) you can get it for €5.99 per month instead of £9.99.Comment

I have tried Spotify, Apple, Deezer and Google.
Apple is good for the curatied playlists, I particularly liked Elton John's and Zane Lowe's.
Google is great as it integrates with my android phone so can be voice controlled to play Albums and Artists while driving.
I liked Deezer as it was the only one with an app at the time but all the others now do them.
Spotify was ok.
Look for the free subscription trials as that will get you at least a years free music.
I'M currently using Google play on an Android due to the voice control.Last edited by BlueSharp; 26 July 2017, 14:23.Make Mercia Great Again!Comment

Actually because I listen to it on the way to my clients it's a business expense so 20% cheaper.........'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Used a few, not much between them but there is generally something:
Deezer - was really good, on the whole, and played very nicely with our Sonos setup, specifically a higher quality streaming via Sonos. They couldn't offer subscription that combined Family plan and the enhanced Sonos quality at the same time, so binned.
Qobuz - not subscribed, but used for a few Hi Res Audio tracks....very nice, if expensive, if you can use it (use on my XDP-100R)
Prime Music - decent, but rather limited free offering with Amazon Prime
Amazon Music - Settled on this, with Family Plan, as covers everything we have ever needed, multiple accounts (others do this too) and integrates nicely with Echo.....just waiting for Amazon/Sonos to get the Echo Sonos integrations up and running, and all will be well!latest-and-greatest solution (TM) kevpuk 2013Comment
