CleeToonFan 1 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Spotify & Chrome? Have you had any experience with spotify on a phone? Contemplating going premium so I can get it on my phone (use youtube occasionally to play songs that I don't have on my iPod) but can't be arsed if it's shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Spotify & Chrome? So for the browser yes but for other apps too. I know google has a cloud service but know nothing about it, does it live update contacts, diaries all that sort of shit. Spotify is not iTunes match.

Happy Face 29 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 iPhone as chrome as well spotify doesn't even compare to music match, not by a long shot, i'm not really an apple fan, ive an ipod and iphone but thats it, but credit where it's due the music match stuff works considerably better than i expected it to. Not sure why you would need match if you had spotify though? Anyway, if you did, don't you need the space in your cloud for all your music with Itunes match. Google Music (Play) streams all the music in your collection so you aren't limited by space. Only in the US right now, but think it's a better solution once available in the UK...which it will be soon now Google are placating the labels by hiding the piracy sites in their search results.

Happy Face 29 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 The other thing Google Music can do is offer your music library for streaming on any device capable of running an HTML5-compatible browser. Forget installing iTunes every time you want to grab a song on a new computer, all you need to do is open a browser somewhere. Finally, Google Music is free. iTunes Match isn't.

Happy Face 29 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I dont understand how Spotify works then, do you store your entire music collection inside Spotify? No need to....it's got just about every album going stored in the cloud. You just stream it directly. Also allows you to make any playlists you like available offline.

Why would anyone want to grab a song on a new computer? Google Play isnt available in Europe and is limited in size where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google Play isnt available in Europe and is limited in size where it is. I go to work and use a work PC...my entire collection is available via the browser. I go round a friends or family members....ditto on their PC. Or the library, or doing a DJ set at the clerb. No need to install Itunes or owt. Google is limited to 20,000 tracks, match to 25,000....Match costs £20+ a year, Google costs nowt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 6 times as much.....for 600 times as many songs. The price scale doesnt work that way. Its 6 times as much for the 'discoverability' of new music. Which is fair enough iyam, not knocking their business at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just answering your question on what the android options are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yes, I've had two android phones and one iphone, prefer the latter instead of the former and you give it the bigg'un as if i'm some WUM . To each their own I guess I haven't got you down as WUM, it's posts like this that make you sound utterly ridiculous. I had an android and once I switched to an iPhone felt almost embarrassed that I paid the same for an inferior copycat os Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it wouldnt be available on your tablet then either? Sure? I find the iTunes store is best on the macbook, more features, drives you to new music, access wish lists so i manage all lists (smart ones) in itunes and then on the plane it was on my phone, in my hotel room on the tablet. When is it planned to be released in EU/RoW? I suspect it may be like Pandora etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just answering your question on what the android options are. Sure and for the record i dont think Apple is the best solution i just think its very very good and a few extra euros per year is neither here nor there to me. As an infrastructure its fantastic, i am surprised to hear google's music cloud will be free but that probably reflects the business analysts perspectives on the tech industry rather than the end-user. A lot of analysts think Google is already dead because Apple has monetised everything and Google is still working that bit out. In business thats all that matters in the medium term.

People are saying similar but the other way around, it's merely opinion. Android is quite obviously copied from IOS, nothing wrong in that in general, I merely think it's also inferior. I pay £23 a month for unlimited everything on an iPhone so couldn't believe I paid the same for Android is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google only charge for the New music, not the space. Spotify charge £120 to stream all the music you like and to store it on your own memory, however much you have available. While not allowing you to keep it once the subscription ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
