Gemmill 34441 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Spoitfy is utter shit in comparison. I listen to around 40 to 60 hours of music a week. This month i've spent 200 euros on vinyl already and listen to my mp3 all day when working at home. Apple music shits on everything else. The For You section just keeps suggesting stuff i didnt realise i really wanted to listen to. Currently listening to The Avalanches Since I left You. Beautiful. You should have established your impressive music listening/purchasing credentials up front, THEN condemned Spotify as shit. As it is, I can't take this seriously.

ChezGiven 0 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just establishing my superior point of view to you, obviously. Spotify is wank in comparison. If you listen to loads of music, Apple music is great. If HF's consumer needs were being met, he wouldnt be doing the trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see you walking around waitrose when they're offering free tasters of pork pie and stopping the wifey before she says a word. "Don't even bother. I had an entirely serviceable pork pie on Thursday and that will do me from now on" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Fair enough but going through the hassle of trying something else designed for another platform just suggested you weren't exactly 100% satisfied. I don't think being offered free tasters of pork in a supermarket in any way shape or form has any comparable characteristics to a choice between music services but hey you've got form for that sort of nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 You have to go to new and playlists, in France i have curated playlists from Colette, Digster, FILTR, Shazam, Pitchfork, DJ mag, Resident Advisor, VICE, Rolling Stone US, NME, Mojo, Q Mag, XL recordings, Domino Records, Young Turks. Some of them are shit obviously. There are however hundreds of lists in each section, the Resident Advisor and Pitchfork ones are super lush. All the recommends and best new tracks already in a playlist. Haven't tried it properly, just from looking at the genre tags, it seemed lacking in there. I just love categorising music into sub-genres of genres because I'm a sad act. I'm getting one of those new Amazon Fire tablets soon so I'll give it a go. I'm enjoying Deezer a lot though; seems to have more choice than Spotify and the library has no limit. Agree that Spotify is getting left behind.

It's the only way to ensure I have the best available for my needs, rather than going on blind faith that the company I like will never put a foot wrong.

You can do all the sub-categorisation that you want with Apple. Its selling point is discover and re-discovery. Its the curation that sets it apart.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Going to get some generic German lager from the NISA and get pissed while giving it a go through iTunes. How's the 24/7 radio feature? I like the look of Run the Jewels, St Vincent etc. doing broadcasts but how is it in practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34441 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 This piece of shit has put the Kaiser Chiefs in my recommendations. Neither Spotify nor Google Play Music have ever insulted me like this. Fuck you Steve Jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 2411 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Thank you for your inquiry. Your blathering is important to us. Please standby, Chez Given, is currently with another forum.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I got Kaiser Chiefs as well. Not to mention U2 despite me telling them to fuck off in the introductory "who do you like?" bit. Let it be known, I have filed a complaint to my local MP and I will be expecting the matter resolved.

ChezGiven 0 Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 What do you think Spotify does to new users? i think you need to actually use the app before it starts to understand your taste. That's how these things work apparently. I like the business Rents, share price and company valuation is miles higher than it was back in 2013 when you were claiming the business was finished because Jobs had died. Like some but not all of the products. Big fan of the music app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, I do think their products are increasingly less distinct. Not sure brand name alone will continue their dominance in the future. Must admit one thing Apple excel in is tablets. Trying to find a decent sub 300 quid android tablet is a pain in the arse. I'm not buying my apps twice or suffering iTunes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's steadied the ship for now, I reckon they need a creative like Johnny Ive at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14585 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Signed up for the free 3 month trial (yeah, my middle name is "early adopter" ) and am frankly loving all the free music.

Happy Face 29 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Aye. It'll all go. Apple don't have a free membership. Spotify do. You can listen to anything on a PC and you can shuffle any playlists on a mobile. With Ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
