Spotify vs Beats

[Mike69]

Been thinking of trying out one of these streaming add free music apps for $9.99 a month. Any of you fellas have any experience with either of them? If so what did you like and dislike with them.

If you're paying that much, just get Amazon prime... $100 a year. You get streaming ad free music, streaming TV, and free 2 day shipping on most items and free 2 hour shipping on some items depending where you are.

Spotify is great. Can't think of any downside.

I've been using Spotify for several years, works great.

This. Just do it and thank yourself (and us) later.

I honestly didn't know there was free music for Amazon Prime, but after browsing it, spotify seems way better and much more user friendly. The few lesser know bands that I like and are on spotify that I searched, were not included in the free music.

I've been a Beats user for maybe a year and a half now and I still enjoy it. I have Amazon Prime and I like their music but one of the things I like more about Beats is the ability to save the music for offline listening. I can't think of anyone else who offers that but I haven't really tried a lot of the offerings out there. It comes in handy when I'm out camping or fishing somewhere and I've got no cell reception and I want to listen to some music. It's pricey though at (I think) $14.99 a month.

Spotify allows you to save playlist for offline use, pretty much the only reason I started paying for the service. I think they have changed it up some now, but originally spotify was free on a computer and the paid subscription got you mobile and offline use.

Interesting. Do they have a trial period?

$9.99 with 35 million or so songs, plus you can upload 50k of your own into their cloud.

I use spotify.

Had to spend some time setting up playlist and flagging albums I wanted to download when I first started using it but now I have a decent size library downloaded to my phone that I can use even when I have no internet available.

They have a radio feature which which is ok Pandora is better IMO as far as pulling B-sides and rare tracks.

The user created playlists are good, and they add 20-30 songs to a suggested playlist for you once a week.
