Spotify premium really worth it?

[luckyluchiano]

Is it? Hear everyone talking about it, I assume new albums would be accessible on it too or do you have to wait a min before they appear? I also hear this lets you download albums off of it too?

I looked up reviews but they focus more on a functional view, trying to get a real world perspective.

I've had premium free for almost 2 years, thanks to some codes someone posted a while back, and I love it. Typically albums are on there on release day, but there have been some exceptions. Rihannas album took a while to appear, and Beyonce is real-world handcuffing, her latest album isn't on there at all. Not even sure how that happens. But it's about 85% of all albums that you can think of.

So you can stream the new albums?  Can you download them?  Or save them as a playlist or something on spotify so they are accessible offline? 

This thread is right on time.  Some one was making fun of me the other day because i use pandora.  And he was all spotify is so much better.  I tried the free one....i type in an album i want to hear....but like i can't pick the songs and it interjects with songs it thinks i should hear....its basically pandora

When a album hits spotify I just make a playlist named after that album and add it. So I can listen to it in my car and my home PC. Pandora is just radio. Spotify is radio plus you can choose individual songs, albums, other people's playlist....

I've had Pandora, Spotify and Beats.

Haven't had the premium service on any of them and out of the three, Beats is far superior imo. The fact that you can build your own mixes from a damn near endless amount of albums from any era or just listen to the album in its entirety is nice and the curated mixes are dope af. Also the era or essential mixes it recommends based on your taste is a good feature. Try Beats out.

Spotify does the same bro.

Spotify is clunky af to me though, bro. And when you select tracks on the free version, if you want to listen to an artist it will only play the tracks you selected after that.

My jailbroken iphone let me get pandora downloader.

So i could download the song if i liked it.  When the song came on id just click download and it would go to a playlist.  I also had unlimited skips and no adds so it was basically the best thing ever.  But now i lost my jailbreak with my iphone 6.  Will def try beats music out thanks for the reference.  Repped

SOUNDCLOUD > SPOTIFY and SC is FREE. I cancelled my premium act months ago.

The Spotify premium feature is free on your computer just not your phone.

I use Spotify, SoundCloud, and Pandora.

In that order. I rock w/ Spotify first, because they have a majority of the albums I want to listen to. Soundcloud has some of the latest releases, and mixtape cuts. Pandora just have a good radio..

More info on the best app/ service would be appreciated, because they all have flaws.

I use SC, but its random as heck, like when I want to find a regular song I mainly find "remixes" of the songs by SC users.

yall need to get on that Sirius XM for iphone

never tried spotify but if i could get premium for free i would.

Pandora is trash. I recently got the Rhasphody for free through tmobile and its ok.

 

[tsamshox]

Been on Spotify premium for about a year and don't regret it

ONLY thing Spotify doesn't have are mixtapes and The Beetles albums...But they got I would say 90% of albums.

I pay for Spotify Premium and I think it is worth it. I barely download music anymore, so streaming makes listening to music easier. You have access to practically every album/song you can think of. You can also play songs even while you don't have wifi/phone signal by creating a playlist and accessing it whenever (this is great for me during my commute to work). and you do not have to worry about having enough storage on your phone to fit all that music.

Hate that ****, I was looking for the song "And the Beat Goes On" by the Whispers and found 7-8 "remixes" before giving up

Love the cloud! take some time and learn how to use it correctly tho...

I Been having Spotify premium for 6 months now. I like it, but they don't have access to as much music as you would think.

 

[and1play5]

Google Play Music x iTunes...unlimited potential ....I do like beats tho as far as the services go

 

[thockey66]

Surprising there is no mention of Grooveshark in here. Puts the rest to shame, imo.

 

[vrai1]

spotify premium is excellent; switched from the free service in early summer (which I hardly used) & i've since done the bulk of my music listening through it. it's been great in helping me discover new tunes & rediscovering old ones. my only gripe is that there seems to be a lot of tracks i enjoy that doesn't make its way there, but i think it has most of what the broader US public is looking for.

give it a month & see if it suits you.

Thats my worries, I dont listen to that pop radio stuff, pretty sure I wouldnt find any old Three 6 stuff on there.

 

[st1llundftd]

I have pandora right now and it's ok.

Willing to try Beats when that monthly price drops:

Google Play unlimited is the way to go in my opinion. $10 added to my Tmo bill and i have albums the day they release. Share playlists and stations
