(Legit) Online music streaming services

The tinterweb seems to be all of a tiz because some scouse boyband has released their tapes for streaming.

I think since one of them appeared with Kanye they could make it big in 2016.

Yeah, seem to be very heavily influenced by Oasis, not bad and certainly one to watch for the future

I used Deezer as well through EE, I found the app to be unstable when using it with a poor connection (not enough buffering at a guess). I switched from spotify as at the time their was no app only the web site.

I'm now using google play which is free for 6 months then only £6.99 a month, much better when using with a poor 3/4g connection.

I've been enjoying Amazon Prime Music since they launched it quite recently; we already had Prime.

I find it changes how I approach music - any band/album I've the slightest interest in I "buy" their album.

However it is annoying everytime they add an album to Prime that you paid for. I find myself reticent to actually purchase any albums now because I'm sure they'll be free soon.

Also even free internet music is dependent on going through SONOS servers first, so if it's down or SONOS ever go bust you have a brick

No, if SONOS ever goes down/bust, I've still got an in-house set of music that I can stream through it from my PCs, my NAS, phones, etc.

Nope, SONOS also have access to my local media library which is Tunes running on my NAS

Deezer's a bit like a website mixed with a radio station where you have lots of different shows that you can listen to, or as it's termed here, stream.

His Sonos is an excellent piece of audio kit that you can use to listen to your music on over your wifi connection. If you buy more than one you can group them how you want throughout your home. There are better single pairings on the market, but Sonos seems to be the best multi-speaker option at the moment.

Pros: Streams wirelessly, offers a wide range of free music, plays your entire collection on a multiroom basis

Cons: Tulip with 33s, 45s, 78s and wax cylinders.

Yeah Ive been using Deezer. Have to pay 10 quid a month in a few weeks although you can use a free version.

Have found deezer quite good although the quality of some music leaves a bit to be desired. Doesnt seem to search onsong titles very well and instead have to use the 'artist's' name. Even then you dont get all the best hits.

This sounds like something my teens would say. Can someone translate please?

Thx

Yeah got a 3 month sub to Deezer for less than a quid, it's ok but not sure what it offers over Spotify or Apple Music, will prob go back to Spotify after the trial is over I reckon.
