I don't stream music but I think bandcamp is a great platform for artists to sell music
I used to pay for a Premium Account subscription from Digitally Imported (higher quality streaming bandwidth and no ads), but they sent me a couple of snotty emails about using the service on more than one device at a time (likely forgot to turn it off on my phone whilst listening on my PC) and threatened to suspend my account, so I ditched them.Originally Posted by fail_quail
Not sure if it counts as it's internet radio rather than something where you choose what to play, but: www.di.fm
It's about the only music i ever listen to nowadays
None here. Still buying CDs where possible - singles from Beatport. Everything ripped to HDD to use on iPods in the cars and iPhone on the move. I do use Youtube for finding new music as well as various mix hosting sites.
My own PC is my music streaming service LOL. But I have all of my music on the SD card anyways, I use this "service" only to copy new music I've encoded to my SD card once in a while.
I buy Vinyl, High res Flac, then CD's. I don't use streaming unless you count DAB while I'm in the car. I use a Fiio X3 while I'm on the move. The flac lives on a QNAP TS453a linked to my Hi-Fi.
Spotify Premium, with 320kbit mode enabled. Best tenner a month I spend
Not for me as I don't listen to commercial music. Gimmicky stuff like Daft Punk will never enter into my music collection. However, if there's a streaming service offering connoisseur class music then I might be interested in the future.
Spotify Premium for me, use it everyday in the car.
Also Soundcloud and Mixcloud too.
All of them
This comment has me really confused. You do realise that streaming services offer music to suit a wide variety of tastes and genres, right?
Amazon prime free service. If not thrown in i'd used spotify free. I've no intention of paying a subscription for background music while I code... If they stop free/bundled streaming I'll just go back to my ripped CDs I've uploaded to google music. Then again I'd rather list to radio 4 than music so I put very low value on it except for helping me concentrate at work (and Bach is better for that any modern song anyway!)
I don't use any. I listen to Radio 2 in the car, or CDs if it's late at night. If I'm listening at home, it's my MP3 playlist on the PS3, or Google Play Music via the Chromecast. Again, my library, not streaming.
Yes, indeed you're confused and your thinking is based on lazy assumptions that somehow music streaming services offer a variety of music to suit everyone's taste. Are you able to understand the mind of a connoisseur? Probably not.
Generally speaking, I do have specific tastes - not just in music. The problem, as I see it, is that most people are not particularly knowledgeable and instead exert their own lazy thinking on to me. So while the music streaming services tick boxes to many genre it doesn't mean it ticks mine. On a deeper level, the person tasked in selecting music has probably grown up during an era of bad music pandered by the large music corporations. How can he possibly understand my tastes?
With all due respect, I stopped reading here. I'm not engaging with an ego as wide as that. Have a word with yourself
Spotify most of the time, tried Amazon music with my Prime subscription mostly for xmas playlists on the TV - selection isn't as good but it's a decent enough service.
Also got some musicon my Play music share, and also a NAS full of stuff, but most of that is on Spotify now.
TuneIn for podcasts/streaming radio very occasionally. In fact, used it for the first time in 6 months today.
Spotify Premium, with Family Plan.
