Andy - a15cro Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Does anyone use either of these music services? Im looking to take out a subscription and read various reviews on both but would like a bit of real user feedback before I jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin (Mr T) Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I'm a Deezer man and love it. Bought a Bose Soundtouch and got 12 months at 50%, but will never camcel it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy - a15cro Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 I will give it a look Mr T. Can you listen to stuff off line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin (Mr T) Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I will give it a look Mr T. Can you listen to stuff off line? I believe you can, but as the Bose I use has no storage, it's not a facility that I've looked at. But, in my opinion, the content is certainly excellent and I have pretty diverse tastes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriss1455 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I have Spotify account Andy. Would recommend it thoroughly as has everything, (well everything I have searched for so far) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I've found Ye Cannot Beat a good CD and Vinyl collection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkymart Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I've just started using the Google music version it's costing £14.99 per month but that gives you 6 accounts and you can use it offline as long as you've downloaded to your device. All the family love it ad you can get a month free trial My eldest has the apple one which he also says is good. Also have a look at Tidal if you just want high quality music it uses FLAC a lossless audio file amazing quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy - a15cro Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thanks for all the replies guys. Spotify seems to be best general use choice. I've got cd and vinyl but my technics hi fi is relegated to my mams house as the wife thinks it's a monstrosity even though it's a thing of beauty! So I'm going forward with the digital age!

Onliest Smeg David Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 LOL My Wendz is not too keen my Hifi (it's very bulky gear) either, but it was part of me so she's had to cope with it. I refused to view houses that wouldn't suit a good acoustic HiFi setup!! :D Digital media has it's place, but IMO can't beat Hi Fidelity Audio reproducing hi quality recordings.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Yes, which is why I have steadily increasing numbers of 24 bit recordings via download! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I can't tell the difference between 16 bit FLAC and 24 bit FLAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfascozzesi Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Just to add another into the mix. Tidal is a streaming service similar to Spotify but has more high quality recordings than Spotify’s high level of account. This was the recommendation from the Hi -Fi shop when I bought my streamer and I can’t fault it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Holy thread resurrection! ! ! I've also heard great things of Tidal. But it's not worth spending on any high res recording formats unless the audio equipment being listened through is good enough to reproduce it.

This is indeed true but having listened to my sons general Spotify account and tidal on my ( the same) system we think you can hear the difference. That said at nearly 50 years old and having worked in factories all my life it could be a bit subjective!! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others reviews/recommendations should only be used as guidance to start off search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
