What’s wrong with Deezer? They might even have a bigger catalogue than Apple (they advertise 53 million songs now) and they just launched on Xbox One.
Agreed that Google allowing you to upload your own songs sets it apart. Lack of desktop software is a major minus, though. The web app is OK, but nothing on the amazing experience you get from Spotify. Apple’s “upload your own music” feature is contrived. It’ll match your ripped songs with stuff it has in its library, but you can’t “upload” anything iTunes doesn’t already have.
Here’s a comparison I did for MyBroadband. Bitrates and supported platforms (as of yesterday) in a table. Since then Deezer has launched on Xbox.
Dude they claim your article sucks Its the one thing I find on SAGamer - they are very quick to diss other publications - their formuites not the staff
And then they have some true asses on there that i try to avoid because of their know it all attitudes.
So now we all suck and no-one’s information is useful .
In fairness I didn’t mention iTunes Match or Google Music’s upload functionality, but they didn’t mention bitrates and codecs, reported library sizes, or supported platforms.
If everyone in South Africa’s online community could just be a little more constructive I feel like everything would be much better.
Day 1 DLC: Oh it’s just Sauron. Don’t listen to the haters, Wyv. Just get the information you need. Even that biased hot-take had some useful objective details in it. The trick is filtering out the useless and keeping what you can use to make a decision.
Hahahahaha dude Sauron and I go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back - back to when prophecy was a thing, I met him and his wife a couple fo times. The way he acts on a forum, that is toned down from real life - I cant stand the man - yes he has valid points here and there, but for pete sake -he needs to stop attacking people when they leave a comment that doesnt agree with his.
He is one of those - knippie sout people everything he says you take with a pinch of salt
I would love to try it but its too hard to move music libraries. My apple music one has been building for the last 4 years. The thought of starting over terrifies me. So I will stick to what I have at the moment.
I haven’t tried GPM at all, so I don’t know what the comparison would be like.
Personally, I’ll be subscribing to premium. There are some albums that I want missing, but I’ll just keep those on my phone separately. My main thing is the PS4 integration, which is pretty tight.
Had to do a roadtrip for work, so I set my phone’s spotify to offline mode. Worked all day Sunday. When I got into the vehicle Monday morning, I launched the app, and it said I needed to log in.
So I tried. “You cannot log in while in offline mode, please log in to change to online mode” or some such catch-22. This has apparently been a ‘feature’ since some time in 2017. Only fix is uninstall the app, and reinstall, which wipes all 3000 of my downloaded songs.
I queued them up again, but… I’m seriously contemplating cancelling my subscription over this. Terrible, terrible…
Wow this is not good to hear. With Google Music at least it automatically switches to offline mode once you lose connection. I am on the cusp of subscribing to Spotify so this is somewhat worrying to hear.
Yup, I’m not happy. Just google
“You are currently set to offline” spotify
Multiple issues listed, a pathetic excuse for a workaround fix (delete password and re-enter it, which doesn’t do squat), and of course, reinstall (and lose your offline library)
@murfle Did you cancel with them or are you still using them?
I’m thinking of dropping Google Play and switching to Spotify. I scrobble music and it annoys the crap out of me that my music hasn’t been scrobbling for ages and I didn’t realise. Spotify can scrobble internally wich is awesome.
I kinda know what scrobbling is, but I’m not sure how it works. Is it something which happens automatically or do you have to set it up?
And what if I listen to a song partway, then decide I don’t like the song and skip it, does it still get added to wherever it is added to?
I wrote a thing on MyBroadband. Spotify is awesome.
However, I am not giving up Google Music because it lets me upload the stuff these streaming services invariably lack. I also get Google Play Music cheaper (R49 special price locked in for as long as I maintain my sub).
