Method What music streaming service do you use, and why?

[Susannah]

I guess most of you like music. It's my main passion. I use it for diversion and therapy. I used ITunes back in the days because I had an Ipod. Now I prefer Spotify. Mainly because of the sound quality.

What about you?

SomaFM and laut.fm are two that I like a lot. I prefer to use services that are based on the terrestrial radio licensing model.

I don't use Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, etc. on principle, based on their royalty payouts, they are too small relative to terrestrial radio.

I also like to purchase music to own when I can and it's available, so Bandcamp is always my first stop to look for that, then 7Digital, iTunes as a last resort if there's something exclusive they've got that I want.

I'd buy CDs more often, but it seems like it might be too much trouble as I am trying to get rid of my personal belongings before I ctb, not collect more.

Spotify, Youtube, and Pandora

I download the songs, piracy is the most common thing here. I think it's absurd to have to pay to listen to music, enough money is already collected at shows.

I convert the videos from youtube to mp3 and I cut the audio if I need to, I usually choose the best video and it always has good quality. spotfy is boring for the poor like me and does not have classic music like youtube has.

 

[Help_Me]

Never used any sort of streaming services. I just keep all .mp3 files right on my hard drive, like in good old times :)

Apple Music and sometimes Spotify. I love AM because I love the interface and it works really great on my Apple devices.

soundcloud… it's like a tresure trove of rare beautiful gems for me ...

 

[AveryConure]

Spotify, and when I'm too poor to pay for it sometimes I'll literally "rip" the music by recording, mixing, and converting it with Audacity like a fucking plebian cause I like to have music during my long late night walks (I live in the middle of nowhere in Indiana so I could literally walk around here at 3 am without getting shanked or whatever).

 

[worldexploder]

YouTube. I only listen to music when in drinking. It's the only time I can "feel it" anymore.

 

[Skathon]

I usually prefer YouTube: it is free and has all (almost all?) available lyrics videos.

 

[AndyCurious]

YouTube <3

soundcloud users rise up

 

[none666]

I just use soulseek to download all my music, works great and it's free

 

[nzdarkshark]

I usually use Spotify as it has a lot of the music I like on there - but sometimes I'll use youtube. On the rare occasion I'll use SoundCloud.

 

[LifeSick]

Spotify mostly. I have the student discount so I pay half the price which is less than 2.50 dollars here in Brazil. Seems like a reasonablle price.

I still use Spotify because it gives me access to Hulu with my student account and I can listen to music offline if need be.

 

[Dani Paradox]

I use youtube, and then download everything right from there.

 

[Ukmale]

Amazon Music as its apart of the Prime package.

 

[BaconCheeseburger]

I use spotify, because my ex boyfriend linked me to his family subscription, and even though we broke up in June/July he still hasn't removed me from it!

Do you have premium/ YouTube Red?

 

[Final Escape]

Pandora, youtube

 

[Susannah]

Anyone having problems with Spotify premium?

The past weeks, since last update, my Spotify is lagging, and I don't like just having 3 "buttons" (on my Galaxy s7). Used to be 4.

 

[Dani Paradox]

Do you have premium/ YouTube Red?

No I just use regular youtube and then download with https://ytmp3.cc/

I used to use the program ILivid but the program doesn't work anymore for some reason. It was awesome because it was faster, and you could make a whole list of things to download without having to go one by one and wait to do the next.

 

[CJM]

Google Play because it's bundled with YouTube Red.

I remember ILivid. Now that YouTube and Google Play Music are teamed up (premium users will get the access to both downloading and uploading music), smaller converting programmes were shut down.
