  • Have been a spotify user since its inception.Now have a family account and its great value for money. I did try Deezer for a few months as ut was compatible with Fitbit and  had a free trial . There wasnt much difference in the quantity or quality of music available but couldn't get on with the interface.

  • I went for a Spotify Premium account after having 3 months free. I love it. Music is everything to me so it's just another way to listen and find rare/old stuff that I haven't heard for ages, plus new releases are so much easier with Spotify.

    I tried them all including Apple's iTunes streaming service. I have the full Spotify account. It's great. I can download tracks to my phone, create playlists and the whole family can use the account.

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

  • Yep, I had 12 months free with my phone contract and haven't looked back. I've now started to listen to albums I own and have on my 'music' section of my Iphone though it. As others have said, its great for discovering new material. If I listen to an album enough however, I still make the effort to buy it physically too, but this is becoming rarer. I only bought 3 cds last year, whilst that number would normally be 15+.

  • My deezer subscription expired yesterday so should I renew with spotify? If so is it worth the fiver extra to get a separate account for home so that I dont get the algorithm constantly suggesting "baby shark" or "googly eyes"?

    I have no opinion on Spotify vs Deezer, but I'd say it's definitely worth the extra fiver; that would drive me nuts
    Too much gain... is just about enough \m/

    I'm probably the only member of this forum mentioned by name in Whiskey in the Jar ;)

    I would gladly pay £5/month too not hear those songs

    I have the free version of Spotify, but ONLY so that I can learn material from a singer-songwriter with whom I sometimes work, whose albums are on that platform.

     Spotify isn’t the way I ‘consume’ music - I like to buy a CD of something I think I’ll enjoy, then invest time in getting to know and enjoy it. Very occasionally I just don’t achieve this, and off goes the CD to the charity shop.

    I still rip CDs to my computer then transfer them to my phone. 

    My 16 year old lad calls me a fossil because I don't have Spotify, maybe I should considering the price.

    Spotify has a great new addition in that now you can unlike bands. It'd work nicely on that. I had great pleasure in banning Coldplay from my life.

  • To be clear the kids actually listen to that stuff by choice (along with Opeth)

    Cool! Goodbye Beyoncé, Lily Allen, Spice Girls, Madonna, Westlife, Drake, Val Doonican, and every World Cup and FA Cup football song. I think of many other artists that should never trouble my ears, but that’s a good start.
