I have put too much time and emotion into my Pandora stations to give up now. I'm in for the long haul.

this is kind of where I'm at.

I've found lots of remixes on Soundcloud that I like way better than originals. I'm not talking about the rando amateur ones, but remixes done by professionals.

Yea. A lot of the crazy electronic music (all the weird fusions of future, trap, chill, etc) out there today you can't find on spotify. Not necessarily remixes, but I guess some artists aren't on a major label or something or just really hipster.

Do you do all your listening on soundcloud? I feel like I could accomplish the same thing on sc that I can on spotify. But I'm pot-committed.

I'm not sure you would want to use it exclusively. But, yeah, it's by far the best for a lot of the styles of music that it has. Every significant indie label DJamer has an account and most are pretty active. I use several sources and it may be my favorite.

So what’s the best option these days? Middle schooler says he needs a music app. Everything is $10/mo minimum now. I wouldn’t mind having a better service myself, so maybe pony up for the family plan... but $15/mo for music? I’m too old and cheap for that.

I pay $17/mo for family Spotify account (5 users) Had an extra user so I hooked up my dad with an account for his Alexa. Probably would drop cable before canceling our Spotify.

Spotify is great and worth the money imo. That said, after my 3 months / $1 deal expired I cancelled. If you have a PC and a Bluetooth speaker, you can listen to whatever you want. Just have tolerate ads.

We do the family Spotify plan. Life's too short for ads and random songs.

we use amazon

I just do the free version of Spotify. Not a music service but several years ago I also got songs from a super sketchy site called mp3juices. Surprisingly my phone did not melt into a puddle of internet AIDS from using it.

I have Google music which got changed to YouTube music and it's fine. Gives you yt premium as well which gets rid of ads on videos.

Phil Titola · « **Reply #36 on:** March 09, 2021, 09:56:40 AM »

I do the youtube music one. Decided on that one as it seems to work best with google home and it gives youtube premium so no ads.

didn't youtube music used to come with google fiber? maybe i'm making that up

anyway, tell your family and kids to use the ORIGINAL music service, the radio

chum1 · « **Reply #39 on:** March 09, 2021, 10:17:50 AM »

I listen to radio streams more than anything else while I work. Tons of great ones out there.

IPA4Me · « **Reply #40 on:** March 09, 2021, 11:09:50 AM »

Interesting turn. I listen to local NPR or AM talk radio when driving around town.

I mostly listen to SiriusXM in the car or local sports radio. Spotify if I'm wanting to listen to something specifically.

pissclams · « **Reply #42 on:** March 09, 2021, 01:12:44 PM »

i have apple music and use it in the car and also sirius and use it in the car too but i'm rarely in the car, will prob cancel.

I saw a funny tweet a long time ago that was, like, “Apple Music, the Android of music services” and it made me lmao.

I like Spotify a lot for both podcasts and music,

I'm currently trying Tidal. I was trying Qubuz.

I may go back to Amazon HD.

When I get my new streamer set up at home, I'll probably play around with those 3 some more.

steve dave · « **Reply #45 on:** March 09, 2021, 01:47:49 PM »

I have Tidal for free through Sprint and after registering and getting it logged in on my phone and sonos I never thought about it again

steve dave · « **Reply #46 on:** March 09, 2021, 01:48:13 PM »

Same with Amazon Music

steve dave · « **Reply #47 on:** March 09, 2021, 01:48:26 PM »

And OT but same with Apple TV

This weekend I learned that the BBC Sounds app is now available worldwide, and it works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

just switched to Spotify from Apple Music at my teenager's request and the one complaint I have regarding Spotify is the much stricter limit to one device per login, I don't think Apple Music cares which is nice if you use an Apple TV or an old iPad or iPod with a bluetooth speaker for background music.
