What subscription music streaming service do you use?

[DonkeyDan]

Inspired by @PrettyPriya question
What are your go-to songs for getting you motivated during a workout?

It got me thinking about what streaming apps people use most often.
I use Spotify Premium.

Spotify

Apple Music

Deezer

YouTube Music

Amazon Music

A different one

I don't use a subscription music streaming service

Spotify is pushing through into the lead here, it's unsurprising as it is the global no1 used service.

No love for Deezer 😂

[abc3643]

I don't.

I use this thing called BROADCAST RADIO!

It's a fascinating technology!
It's free! All you have to pay for is a radio and those are cheap and come free with your car.

You press the On button, pick a station you like, and hear music or talk or news or sports or whatever 24/7/365. AND IT'S ALL FREE... and it's been that way for over 100 years!!

=====
That said, I do have a premium SiriusXM account so I have satellite radio in my car and can also stream on my phone, computer, or Amazon Echo Dot. Right now, I am in the Saint Louis Missouri area listening to the New York Yankees broadcast of their game at the Kansas City Royals on my phone which I may Bluetooth to my boombox. That's pretty cool. (Yankees are up at the moment, 3-2, in the top of the 7th.)

And now I just switched to the Phillies at Mets game listening to the Mets broadcast.
At the bottom of the 8th, the Mets are up 3-0 BUT the Mets are pitching a no-hitter!!
So, I may be listening to history!

[abc3643]

AND IT WAS A NO-HITTER! ONLY THE 2ND IN THE 61 SEASON HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK METS!

I don't do that streaming bullshit. I belong to Columbia House Record club

Columbia House was an umbrella brand for Columbia Records ' mail-order music clubs, the primary iteration of which was the Columbia Record Club, established in 1955. The Columbia House brand was introduced in the early 1970s by Columbia Records

I am currently trying out free trials of different ones after having had Apple Music for years. I already tested Spotify and TIDAL, next will be Youtube.
So far Apple is my clear favourite. I encountered several feautures I lacked from the others. TIDAL also lacks some more obscure music.

[Apulu_Imback]

I just download the MP3 of my favorite songs from Google and have them in the 'Music' of my phone.

[NamerOfStars]

If I want to play music, I pop in a CD (or run a file ripped from one; legal if it's a backup). I don't like being monitored in everything I do.

[dustybiker]

I have amazon speakers I brought in to help me care for my mum at the time. It’s buggy from time to time, so not perfectly happy with it, I’m sure everything has it’s own issues.

[bolverk]

I used to use Spotify, but that was over ten years ago when the platform had decent steaming performance without too many advert interruptions.

[DonkeyDan]

Yeah I can't tolerate the free version.

[exitseven]

I buy a Sirius subscription for my wife. I can stream it on my laptop and with Alexa too. They are having the top 50 albums from 50 years ago I have been listening to. So much good music.

[PrettyPriya]

Thanks for the shoutout @DonkeyDan! I use Apple Music. Easy to get across all my devices and naturally huge selection.

[ChrisMaster69]

@PrettyPriya yeah, same it’s fairly portable between devices and both cars.

[PrettyPriya]

@ChrisMaster69 I agree and even down to watch if I leave my phone in my bag.

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

I use pandora and bandcamp. Along with checking out bands on youtube. And listening through physical media (CDs, records)

[DizzyDesii]

I prefer the car radio, tv music channel, or blasting my cds on the dvd player/xbox... But occasionally i listen to spotify. Not a subscriber tho

[DizzyDesii]

And sometimes i go to soundcloud mobile browser for good remixes

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

I use Spotify for personal use and SoundCloud for my own music and connecting to other musicians , artists and producers

[TrueConfection]

I don't use a subscription. I just buy the song I want and download it to my device. It costs less for me in the long run.

[NathanDavis]

I use Youtube Music app, but I do not pay for any premium subscription

[AviatorTom]

I use the free version of Pandora... does everything I need it to do. Between it and YouTube, I can find pretty much all the music I want.

[ChrisMaster69]

I have predominantly Apple Music,
then I have Tidal
then Spotify
then Amazon Music

[drummerdude25]

I’m on Apple Music… I like tuning into Zane Lowe for new music premieres and artist interviews.

[Daniela1982]

None. I just put a stack of my home made CD's in my changer and listen to the mood music I want.

[FunkyMonkee]

If I don't have it among my 60,000-record collection, I'll look for it on YT.

[josephinelcajon]

XM in the truck and Spotify at home. I think I have both youtube and Amazon

[josephinelcajon]

I agree and prefer Spotify mainly for the ability to choose a certain song and skip often. I use XM Sat when out of cell signal. I live way out of town.

[worldscolide]

None.. I use plex, which is free if you don't want advanced features. And allows me to stream my music anywhere in the world.

[EnglishEuropean]

Subscription? That sounds like something you have to pay for. At a time when I have to decide whether to eat food or heat my home. Me no likey.

[OddBeMe]

I buy everything I listen to.

[DonkeyDan]

So physical media like CDs and vinyl or download MP3s?

[OddBeMe]

Oh I’m all mp3. But maybe I’m old school and just like to have possession of my media. Same with movies. Have about 3 Tb streaming from private server.

[CubaPirate]

Non I've downloaded mine for free

[DonkeyDan]

What free service do you use?

[CubaPirate]

Pirate Bay and U tor****

[DonkeyDan]

Excellent, didn't even realise PirateBay was still going.

[CubaPirate]

Yeah just search Pirate Bay Proxy
