Music Spotify - the greatest music service?

[moon]

I've been paying for Spotify Premium for what must be a decade soon. Apart from some VGM stuff, where spotify is still lacking sometimes, it just has almost everything, from my experience.

Do you use it? Or something else?

I use Spotify and have been for the last few years, it has a pretty seamless interface and solid streaming. The new Genius lyrics thing on mobile is a great little feature too.

We use Apple Music via Family Sharing and I like it a lot. If there's a song I can't find, I can upload my own copy and have it there ^-^.

I like Spotify in which I can catch up on old albums of artists I might've missed. So yeah, it's usually my go to for music streaming.

Discovery Weekly is literally THE way I find new music to my taste these days haha. It's such a great feature.

What's this Genius lyrics feature on mobile?

Back when it launched for The Netherlands I was disappointed to see nothing of my favourite genre (metal). Not even Metallica (it was already many years past Napster)! Now, six-or-so years later, they added a big metal library that features all the new releases. So it has a more versatile library now, and it has nice features such as that Discovery Weekly thing and daily mixes. I really like the service now!

I do use Spotify and I appreciate that the developers are always making the app's interface more user friendly. Collaborative and easily-shared playlists are among the greatest innovations of the 21st century.

I just found out that World of Warcraft's soundtrack is on Spotify now 8D <3 Another plus point. More and more soundtracks are landing there.

I listen to a lot of metal as well and Spotify has met all of my metal or hard rock needs with only 1 small exception.

Anyways, I'm usually not one for paid services, but Spotify Premium has been well worth the money. Its much cheaper than iTunes... the number of songs I've added would be the equivalent of hundreds of dollars. So the monthly fee is actually a really good rate.

Premium is also more convenient, especially so you dont have to use data to listen to music or rely on wifi.

However, I am disappointed with the recommended friends feature. My playlists are strictly metal/classic rock/hard rock/various variants of metal and rock and it recommends people that listen to One Direction and Kanye West. I dont know if the formula is just screwed up or what...

Oooh, I need to check that out. People play a lot of FF tracks on Dubtrack and I usually love it c:

I wouldn't say I'm a Spotify-fan, but I have preferred it for a while now. It is easy to use and I don't have to explain my old outdated parents how to use it.

I use Spotify to help me search, discover, and verify what specific songs I want to purchase. It's a great tool for all of that. I would never want to have to pay for it, though. Having my music locked behind a recurring payment would not sit right with me. When I pay money for music, it's mine.

I absolutely love the Discover Weekly feature, and the new releases for you section is great, too. The icing on the cake for me is the integration with last.fm. Between the two I can consistently find new stuff, without having to pirate mp3s.

I used to download my music because I use my iPod (from 2009 lel) in my car. But after I lost everything when my laptop drowned I can't add more music to my iPod - so going to finally get Spotify in a couple months when I get a new laptop and move to having music on my phone lol.

 

[Lipstick Vogue]

Can see why it's so popular but streaming services aren't for me.

 

[APAROT]

I love Spotify! It has most of my favorite artists and genres (I'm a huge Latin Jazz fan! Especifically, Michel Camilo)! And after having so many game publishers agreeing on adding their music, you can find Batman Arkham OST, The Witcher III, Uncharted, and jewels such as Nihon Falcom's in-house studio music! Even Sega has started to add their music!

I love Spotify and have been using it since November, I think? Without explaining the whole story, my iTunes account is shared between my mom, sister, and I. Then all my music is mostly off CDs I buy and those don't transfer between computers. Basically, it's easier for me to just pay a monthly fee for a Spotify that is MINE that I can download the CDs I already have and be able to listen to them on my phone as well.

Though it does lack Lemonade and the Persona 5 soundtrack...I'll let it pass, though.

i switched from spotify to apple music and its so great because a lot of the stuff i listen to are mixtapes/etc and arent on apple music and all my stuff is in the same place, plus it refreshes earlier for new releases and has more exclusives so apple music is the one for me

I've tried Spotify for a while, but it never clicked on me. I run to YouTube for just about everything.
