Do you pay for a music streaming service?

[TR888]

I don’t, I use Prime Music (free version). The choice isn’t great but it’s ok, especially as I only really listen to music during my commute. But this is going to change as I want to make time for music. I’ve got a new lovely wood-burning smoke in my dining room and that’s going to be my music room. I hear Santa is getting me a top-of-the-range bluetooth speaker too...

Is it worth paying a music subscription? Will the sound quality be better, as well as the choice? Which one do you recommend?

We have a family spotify subscription for us, MIL and nieces and nephews. MIL pays for it and we chuck her £10 every few months for our part. I use it daily.

Family Apple Music. We all use it and it's great, can't imagine being without it now.

No, I’ve always just used free Spotify on my PC. The sound quality seems perfectly good to me (but then I’m not an expert on that kind of thing). If you click on the next track just before the last one finishes you won’t get any adverts. When I’m out of the house I just listen to music from my iTunes.

I probably sound really cheap, but as I essentially get free ad-free Spotify at home I’d be paying £10 just to listen to music outside the house, which I can’t really justify. I prefer to spend that money on CDs instead.

We pay £15 a month for Spotify Family. You can have up to 6 (I think) members on the same plan, so longs as you're all based at the same address.

Amazon Music, I really like it. I haven't discovered anything I want to play that it doesn't have yet...

At the moment I'm paying for Spotify and Apple Music. I need to cancel one, but Apple works with Siri so I can voice-control it in the car, but Spotify has better playlists, so I can't decide which to keep.

I've almost always bought CDs second-hand, so the artists do better out of me streaming than they ever did before.

I pay £9.99 for Spotify unlimited.

Great choice, means I have music for my commute (can't listen to the radio as no signal on country roads) and doesn't break the bank. Plus if I listen at home, there's no adverts.

£15 for the Family Spotify.
Both me and the anti social child always have music going and our tastes are not always the same as current radio playlists so we like to be able to play what we prefer.

Amazon prime comes with music membership I think

Family amazon prime subscription in this house - the kids use it constantly for whatever obscure thing they're into that week, I listen to it on a commute and DH listens to it at work.

I currently have 6 months free Spotify as well (new PC bought last month) but I have that diaried to cancel when the free period is over with).

Spotify family here too. I didn’t know we all had to be at the same address though. Three of us live together, one has just moved out. My parents are on our account too and live 20 minutes away, and my best friend is 200 mikes away. How do they know you all live at the same address?

Im on Amazon 99p for 4 months offer. Ill upgrade to family pack once Im past the end of the deal.

I used prime for ages but access to allsorts makes it worth the premium.

Spotify family here, I absolutely love it.

We both have Spotify Premium lumped in with our Vodafone contracts but wouldn’t question the £15 per month for Family if we weren’t with Vodafone. Couldn’t be without it now.

Family Deezer here, 15pm, we all use it. Worth it!

I've just got Amazon music for 99p a month for I think four months then £10 a month after that.

I'm currently on a bit of a downloading frenzy. I'll probably cancel it when it goes up to £10, wait a few months to collate another massiv list of tracks I want then pay for another month and download all of those.
So I'll end up getting the music I want but not paying as much for it. In the meantime I listen to stuff on the free version of YouTube so the artists still get some money from ad revenue
